Congresswoman DelBene represents Washington's 1st Congressional
District and is also a seasoned technology entrepreneur and leader
with over 20 years of experience working in the private sector with
companies like Microsoft, where she served as corporate vice
president of the company's mobile communications business. She
understands the critical role that innovative companies play in
creating opportunities for citizens and the foundation for economic
growth for communities.
Sonata's facility in Redmond
currently has close to 100+ employees and looks to hire more talent
in the future. In a bid to increase quality career opportunities
and source talent locally, Sonata initiated the LEAD Program for
recent graduates with over twelve of the team being on-boarded
through this route in just over half a year, from the University of Washington and Washington State University. LEAD is a
comprehensively designed approach that balances the needs of
graduates and the dynamic opportunities in the IT industry. The
program combines an Earn-as-you-Learn paid training phase in
emerging new technology areas, with subsequent opportunities to
work on projects with marquee clients.
Congresswoman DelBene interacted with students from the LEAD
program who shared their perspectives with her. On the occasion she
said, "I want to thank Sonata Software for inviting me to tour
their software development facility. Having an opportunity to tour
Sonata's facility allows me to see the work they are doing to bring
new high skill jobs to Redmond,
and helps me better understand the challenges they are facing as a
growing company. In Congress, I am working to support growing
industries in Washington's
1st Congressional District, ranging from software to
aerospace, biotechnology and agriculture. These cutting-edge
industries make the 1st Congressional District one of
the most dynamic and innovative districts in the country, and
growing software companies like Sonata are playing an important
role in our area's economy."
Mr. PVSN Raju, Head of Delivery, Sonata Software commented, "It
has been a great experience working with talent from the community
and scaling up our operations in Redmond. It adds to our local presence and
connect with the community. We look forward to going further ahead
with the support and good wishes of our customers and other
stakeholders here."
