Amruta Dhotre is a Program Manager at Splunk, where she specializes in transforming complex challenges into high-impact outcomes. After earning her Master of Science degree from Northeastern University, Amruta spent more than 12 years in the United States driving large-scale product launches and strategic programs across startups, networking companies, and leading cloud technology organizations.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Amruta is a proud mother of two. Having personally navigated the demands of a rapidly evolving technology landscape while raising a young family, she understands the unique challenges women face in building and sustaining successful careers in tech. As a long-time leader and active participant in corporate women's and ally Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), Amruta is committed to fostering meaningful connections, creating supportive communities, and helping others transform obstacles into opportunities for growth and success. Through WIT Align, she combines her professional expertise, leadership experience, and passion for mentorship to help women empower their careers, lead with confidence, and navigate change with purpose.

Ann Samuel is a Senior Director of Global Technical Support with 20+ years of experience leading global teams across Oracle, DocuSign, Splunk, and Contrast Security. A passionate advocate for women in technology, Ann co-founded WITAlign to create a precision mentorship platform that meets women wherever they are in their tech journey — from students and early-career explorers figuring out how to break in, to seasoned professionals navigating their next move.
Driven by her own non-linear path from aspiring physician to engineer to global support leader, Ann understands firsthand that the road into tech rarely looks the same twice. Throughout her career, she has taken active leadership roles in building cultures of inclusion — serving as a founding member and steering committee leader of Women of OCI, which grew to 300+ members globally, co-hosting the Sister Code podcast, and participating in SheTO, a vetted network for women and non-binary engineering leaders. WITAlign is the natural evolution of that lifelong commitment — connecting women with the right mentors, at the right moment. Ann is based in the Raleigh-Durham area and believes that when women in tech are truly supported, everyone wins.
