In the summer of 2017, JDA launched its Wednesdays for Women blog series, which focuses on sharing the career journeys of some of the incredible women who work at JDA, female executives from among JDA’s customers, interesting points-of-view from both women and men at JDA and more. The goal is to offer women stories and situations where they can see themselves, inspiring them and giving them a roadmap for charting the course of their careers. The series has become one of the most read of all of JDA’s blogs.
