Why Gotara
Gotara is on a mission to create higher-performing organizations by closing the gender gap in STEM+ fields. And we take it very personally!
We were founded by two STEM women who achieved career success while navigating many hurdles. These hurdles, unfortunately, still prevent millions of women from attaining the careers they want. And this not only holds the women back, but it also holds employers back when their talent can not work at their full potential or when this same talent leaves. Ultimately, this societal issue impacts the GDP where these employers are located. We are here to change all of that!
We work with tech-savvy organizations, their managers, and individual employees to remove those hurdles, help leaders grow at all levels, and help employers realize their diversity and business goals. Plus, we scale our work using the latest AI/ML technology.
Why Work Here
To put it bluntly, we make a difference in people’s lives. We are a collaborative, diverse, innovative, hard-working, “roll up your sleeves” team who feel very personally about making an impact. Working at Gotara gives you the opportunity to:
-
- Contribute to our critical mission
- Learn about all aspects of the business
- Be part of innovation that matters
- Work directly with and learn from senior leaders who care
Our Impact
We take pride in helping STEM + women and their managers navigate career hurdles and grow. What could be more rewarding? And it works! 100% of participants improved with respect to their personal goals, and 99% of their managers agreed. But talk about personal, take a look at this:
“Now, instead of feeling overworked and overburdened, I can prioritize stakeholder requests to align with our strategy—I feel more valued and respected as a result.”
“Gotara helped us so much, I will take Gotara wherever I go.” – CHRO
And the impact is global! We have 21,000+ members from 170 countries.
Our Values
Our core values drive our daily work, and we help each other stay true to what we call the 4 Cs (and yes, we are kind of obsessed with them):
Customer Growth: start with customers’ needs to help grow the business.
Curiosity: be curious and continue to learn, helping create a culture of innovation.
Collaboration: work in a collaborative, inclusive, and respectful fashion.
CEO Mindset: think like an owner to develop cost-effective solutions to grow.
