Syeda Faiza, known as Faiza, is an Agile Project Manager at Dell Learning for Dell's Data Protection Content Development team, where she has led a team of over 15 designers and developers. Her team delivers an impressive average of 60 assets per quarter, supporting a range of Dell’s Data Protection products. Faiza is highly skilled in Microsoft Azure DevOps (ADO), serving as both an Administrator and Chair of the ADO Change Control Board (ADO-CCB). Additionally, she manages cultural initiatives as the Program Manager for the Dell Mosaic ERG’s Cultural Heritage Program and serves as the Communications Lead representing APJC.

Faiza’s journey with Dell began in 2015 at EMC through the Campus New Hire Program, ESAP. She later became the GSAP/Managed Onboarding Brand Ambassador, representing APJC at global meetings. Over the past decade, she has held various roles, including Developer, Experience Manager, Project/Program Manager, Scrum Master, and Agile Project Manager. These experiences have provided her with a strong foundation in learning and development, content and project management, and have sharpened her leadership skills in program and people management.

As the author of Empowered: Leadership and Self-Awareness for Women and Agility Unlocked: Mastering Scrum and Agile Coaching for High-Performing Teams, Faiza brings a wealth of knowledge to her work. She holds an Engineering Degree from Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) at Oxford and an MBA in Project Management from the National Institute of Business Management (NIBM). Committed to self-development, Faiza participated in the RISE Leadership Readiness Program for High-Potential Women employees. Excelling as a top performer in August 2024, she led a critical cross-functional project that consolidated two roles, streamlining operations and improving efficiency by 20%.

Faiza is also deeply involved in Employee Resource Groups such as Women In Action, Conexus, GenNext, Mosaic, and Planet ERGs, where she actively promotes diversity, inclusion, and community engagement. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring cuisines and modern minimalist interior design. Her dedication has earned her the Dell Game Changer award and multiple Industry and Inspire awards, solidifying her reputation as a pivotal force at Dell who inspires her colleagues and drives meaningful change across organizations.

Professional Highlight: People’s Choice Award Winner

Recently Faiza received the People's Choice Award at Dell Technologies. Faiza mentioned that "it is always special to be recognized by peers, and this award feels especially meaningful because it reflects the support and appreciation of the community around me. It’s been an inspiring journey so far — and this motivates me even more to keep doing what I love."

Personal Highlight: Observant, Creative, and Always Curious
     
Faiza has always found beauty in the details — from noticing small changes others might miss to remembering tiny moments that matter. This observant nature fuels her creative side. She is passionate about writing, music, art, and loves exploring new cuisines. Whether it’s penning down a verse, sketching an idea, or trying something bold on a plate, creativity keeps Faiza grounded and excited.

What makes Dell special for Faiza? As her first company, Dell has provided her with opportunities to learn, grow, and most importantly, connect—with truly inspiring people. The relationships and experiences she’s built over the last decade have shaped not only her career but also who she is today. That’s what makes Dell special to her.
