Paying it Forward
Chetna is a staunch believer and advocate for mentorship. She knows the difference having a role model and supporter can make, having sought out her own female mentor years ago. To pay it forward, she actively participates in RBC initiatives like 10,000 Coffees, various mentorship circles, and the TRIEC Career Mentorship Program for new Canadians. Chetna is also in the Future Penpal Program for many underprivileged and technically-challenged citizens and a member of RBC Mosaic group for visible minorities and newcomers. 
Leading by Example
Chetna is also passionate about nurturing a diverse and inclusive workplace. With her recent promotion to Managing Director, she acknowledges the amount of responsibility she holds. "Speaking up for inclusion is an RBC value that we all embrace, but now, as a leader it feels even more like it is my duty to do it. I know I'm a role model for women and people from diverse communities. I have to put in my 201% everyday now more than ever so I continue to set a good example. I’m up for it!"
