Ericsson Leadership & Management

Ericsson Employee Perspectives

Sashieka is passionate about the role mentors and sponsors play in shaping careers, especially for women in tech. She emphasizes that mentorship is not just about guidance, but advocacy.  She encourages employees to take advantage of Ericsson’s open culture, where reaching out to leaders (even by email) is welcomed. Just as importantly, she pays it forward by mentoring others across the company. 

“A true mentor is someone who will pound the table on your behalf behind closed doors. To earn that, you need both performance currency and relationship currency.” 


 

Sashieka Seneviratne’s, Director of Cloud RAN Solutions, AT&T CU

Moving into leadership was both exciting and humbling. My focus shifted from timelines and deliverables to people management. I quickly realized that leading a team requires presence, empathy, and the ability to create an environment where people feel supported and engaged.
