As Women’s History Month comes to an end, we choose to commend the brilliant minds in the tech industry that have repeatedly challenged the status quo and pushed for progress and innovation in the past few years:

Reshma Saujani

Saujani is the founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, an organization with 8,500 programs dedicated to girls all around the globe to learn coding. Her efforts are leading us to a world with a smaller gender-gap in our very competitive, male-dominated industry.

Sheryl Sandberg

Women are now regarded as instrumental to the functioning of the workplace and have been getting more recognition for their hard work. Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook since 2008 and the first woman elected to the Facebook Board of Directors, has led the company from a $56 million in losses to an $18.5 billion in profits in 2019.

Gwynne Shotwell

As president and Chief Operating Officer of SpaceX, Shotwell has always been passionate about aerospace technology design and implementation. In 2002, she joined the first private corporation to launch two astronauts in Earth’s orbit in 2020. Today, she speaks about the need for diversity and the inclusion of women in the workplace.

Susan Wojcicki

Wojcicki was behind the Google acquisition of YouTube in 2006, and later on became the subsidiary’s CEO in 2014. She manages the design and release of new YouTube applications and experiences that are made for users interested in gaming, music and family content.

Amy Hood

Amy Hood is the current CFO of Microsoft Corporations, most known for her strategic change of company investment from Windows to their growing cloud computing services. Microsoft Azure launched in 2008 and is now one of the most influential cloud computing services with over $1 billion investment in R&D and security.

We have a long way to go before reaching gender equity in the workplace, but for now let’s rejoice at some of the women that have made it possible for others to climb the corporate ladder in tech and achieve the seemingly impossible!
