Celebrating Women in Business: How Sangoma Supports Empowerment and Innovation
International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible contributions of women worldwide and reflect on the progress made toward gender equality. At Sangoma, we proudly recognize the women who inspire us daily, driving innovation, growth, and success across our company and the broader business world.
As a company rooted in values like trust, integrity, accountability, mutual respect, teamwork, and a passion for customer success, we know that empowering women is essential for building a strong, inclusive, and forward-thinking business. These values are not just something we talk about—they’re principles we live by, in our partnerships, our leadership, and how we mentor and uplift each other.
Empowering Women Through Leadership and Mentorship in B2B
At Sangoma, we believe in creating opportunities that help people grow—especially women in tech and B2B communications. These industries have historically been male-dominated, but women are now breaking down barriers and stepping into leadership roles. From mentorship to leadership positions, women are shaping the future of these industries, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of that change.
Mentorship has always been one of the most powerful tools for growth. For over 20 years, Susan Leveritt, our Channel Chief, has been mentoring women in the channel. She’s not just offering advice—she’s actively opening doors, creating opportunities, and providing the resources women need to thrive in a competitive space. Her focus is simple: help women succeed by giving them the confidence, connections, and support they need to rise.
We’re proud to support a culture where experienced leaders like Susan pay it forward. It’s not just about career advice; it’s about helping women take bold steps, overcome challenges, and build lasting success. Susan’s mentorship has empowered countless women to achieve leadership roles, and that’s a win for everyone.
Leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about shaping the future. At Sangoma, women leaders are driving innovation and opening doors for the next generation. Seti Nezami, leading Product Management and Marketing, is transforming how we bring cutting-edge communication solutions to market, ensuring businesses stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Building Trust, Integrity, and Accountability for Women in Business
Trust, integrity, and accountability are not just buzzwords at Sangoma, it’s how we do business. We know that for women to thrive in any industry, they must know that their contributions are valued and that they have a voice at the table.
Leadership also goes beyond expertise—it’s about making a lasting impact. Samantha Reburn, Chief Legal & Administrative Officer at Sangoma, exemplifies this by overseeing legal affairs, risk management, and corporate governance, ensuring the company operates with integrity, agility, and strategic foresight. Now, as she expands her role to lead Human Resources, she is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive workplace, breaking down stereotypes, and driving meaningful change to empower women at Sangoma and beyond. She encourages women to be bold, share their ideas, and take charge – there is no need to apologize!
Teamwork and Collaboration: Empowering Women in the Workplace
One of the most powerful ways we empower women is through collaboration. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s working together internally or partnering with women-led businesses, we understand that the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, working in harmony.
By fostering an environment of mutual respect and support, we encourage women to build strong networks and form valuable connections. This collaborative approach not only enhances business success but also creates a supportive space for everyone to thrive.
Creating Growth Opportunities for Women
On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of creating opportunities for growth, not just for women, but for everyone in the workplace. We believe in a culture of diversity, where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background.
We’re proud to offer career development resources and opportunities for advancement at Sangoma. These initiatives are designed to ensure that all our employees have the support they need to reach their full potential. By championing women’s success, we not only benefit our company but also the broader industry and community.
Looking Ahead: Empowering Women in Tech and B2B Communication
As we look to the future, we are committed to continuing the work of breaking down barriers for women in business. We will continue to provide mentorship, offer career development resources, and champion women in leadership roles.
Sangoma’s ongoing commitment to empowering women is integral to our success. As we honor International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our dedication to fostering an environment of respect, inclusivity, and opportunity. We are proud of the women leading the way today, and look forward to supporting the next generation of leaders.
Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at Sangoma! Let’s continue to uplift, support, and empower one another, today and every day.
