Throughout her career, she has consistently championed operational excellence and fostered strong cross-functional collaboration.

"With accessiBe, I see an opportunity to build and advance technology that breaks down barriers and makes the web truly work for everyone," said Uda. "accessiBe isn't just talking about accessibility; it's actively shaping the future of it, and I am excited to be a part."

She hosts annual International Women's Day sessions to help women build confidence and scale their careers, and contributes to Shavot, a leadership program for girls to empower young women starting out in tech.
