It highlights the varied life and career stories that lead these women to the top positions in the technology industry that they are in now. Interviewees include CEOs, founders, and inventors from a wide spectrum of tech organizations across sectors as varied as mobile technology, e-commerce, online education, and video games. Interviewer Danielle Newnham, a mobile startup and e-commerce entrepreneur herself as well as an online community organizer, presents the insights, instructive anecdotes, and advice shared with her in the interviews, including stories about raising capital for one?s start-up, and about the obstacles these women encountered and how they overcame them. This timely book will be of great interest to anyone working in tech or looking to get into the industry, and more in general: to everyone wanting to learn how they can contribute to leveling the field of occupational opportunity and to strengthening teams and companies through merit and diversity. . 606 $aComputers 606 $aEngineering?Vocational guidance 606 $aSuccess in business 606 $aCareers 606 $aThe Computing Profession$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24075 606 $aJob Careers in Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009 606 $aCareers in Business and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517020 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aEngineering?Vocational guidance. 615 0$aSuccess in business. 615 0$aCareers. 615 14$aThe Computing Profession. 615 24$aJob Careers in Science and Engineering. 615 24$aCareers in Business and Management. 676 $a004.023 700 $aNewnham$b Danielle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0887475 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151578103321 996 $aFemale Innovators at Work$91982573 997 $aUNINA
