Pritha Mehra, the Postal Service’s manager of marketing technology and channel management, has been recognized nationally by the Profiles in Diversity Journal special issue celebrating the achievements of leading women executives.
“Women Worth Watching” are nominated by colleagues, peers and mentors for showing outstanding initiative and professional achievements. The special issue, to be published this month, focuses on executive’s contributions in helping an organization achieve company-wide goals and her ability to mentor other women toward success.
Mehra’s current project is focused on leveraging technology, including the Postal Service’s Intelligent Mail barcodes, to make sure mail remains a key communications medium in the digital age.
