Earlier in her career, Ankita Gupta, director of digital IP at Infineon Technologies in Germany, described her accomplishments by listing the code she wrote, the scripts she built, and the tasks she executed.

Ultimately, a manager challenged her to think differently: Did her engineering work save the company hours, days, or weeks? That shift helped connect her technical contributions to business outcomes, and ultimately opened the door to leadership opportunities.

In this conversation with host Sam East, Ankita shares practical ways for engineers to develop a more business-minded perspective and understand how their daily work drives profitability and strategic goals.

Hear how to articulate the financial impact of your contributions, why women engineers should practice saying “I” instead of defaulting to “we,” and a framework for confidently communicating the value of your work — without feeling like you’re bragging.
