As a part of our series about women who are shaking things up in their industry, I had the pleasure of interviewing Nhat Nguyen.
Nhat Nguyen is Head of Global Projects at Autonomous.ai, a California-based technology company and global leader in integrated and collaborative office supplies, designed for the remote workforce. She recently graduated from the dual masters programs at Harvard Kennedy School and MIT Sloan School of Management, where she worked with multiple tech start-ups.
Nhat is currently co-leading Autonomous.ai’s new Employee Purchase Program — an initiative that aims to tackle the now ubiquitous WFH issue; how to supply remote employees a high-quality and ergonomic workplace at scale.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”? What led you to this particular career path?
It was a series of interests that led me to this career. When I was working with an ed-tech start-up at MIT, I connected with an investor who then introduced me to a project regarding workforce upskilling. While working on it, his colleague connected me with his friend who knew Autonomous well. I love the mission of the company to unlock productivity for people by building innovative tools and the culture of continuous improvement and collaboration, so I joined the team in my last semester of graduate school.
