Dr. Hoby Wedler welcomes a very special guest to the podcast this week: the one and only Soraya Correa, the new president and CEO of National Industries for the Blind. After starting her career as a clerk typist, Soraya rose through the ranks of the federal government to join the Senior Executive Service. She held key leadership roles at the General Services Administration (GSA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). After retiring from federal service, she worked for the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) before discovering NIB. As you’ll hear, Soraya’s willingness to tackle difficult projects and her passion for making a difference led to significant innovations in procurement.
Tune in to hear about the importance of mentorship and diversity in the workplace and the impact both had on Soraya’s trajectory. She shares her vision for NIB’s future, her strategies for creating opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired, and the lessons she’s learned from a lifetime of service. Whether you’re looking to enhance your leadership skills, understand the impact of diversity in the workplace, or simply be inspired by Soraya’s extraordinary journey, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice for listeners from all walks of life!
