We continue to celebrate Women’s History Month by recognizing the women who inspire us at Viacom, and the strong women who paved the way for them. "This is my mom. She raised me as a single parent and to create a foundation for us, she joined the army and was active military for 8 years. Everything she does for herself, my family, and our country is with hard work and strength. She’s the backbone to our family and the work she puts in daily is so inspiring. She always puts others first and pushes me to pursue my dreams, like interning and working here at Viacom. I only hope to be half the person she is one day." - Essence Dashtaray, Manager, Talent Acquisition
“It’s important to realize that life is not a straight line. Before Viacom or Microsoft, I was a graduate student going for my Ph.D. in Japanese literature. My goal in life was to become a professor, but I later realized that I didn’t want to pursue a career in academia. I remember walking out of a three-hour class and thinking, ‘I’m going home, this isn’t for me.’ In the years that followed, I worked various jobs, from researching at Japan’s largest daily newspaper, and leading technology teams at Microsoft, to now managing Viacom’s human resources team. In many ways, I feel like I’ve had several different careers. I look at my path, and while it seems very varied and diverse, the consistency has been me and the great relationships that I’ve built. What pulls you in different places is curiosity and how you perceive yourself. If you pigeon-hole yourself, you will pigeon-hole your career.” - Fukiko Ogisu, EVP & Chief People Officer
