Female leaders in technology

Mentoring and supporting young women in computer science has been a problem because women have traditionally been underpresented in technology and engineering occupations. This is unfortunate because women are  detail oriented which is essential in technology positions.

At the AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford University, an innovation panel discusses ways to encourage women to enter the computer industry. Many women come to the industry from other sides of the business such as marketing and need coaching to find their inner geek.

Panelists include Marissa Mayer, vice president of search product and user experience at Google; Jasmine Kim, chief operating officer of ImageSpan; Polly Sumner, president and chief adoption officer at Salesforce.com; and moderator Elizabeth Tinkham, Global Lead of Management Consulting and Integrated Markets Communications and High Tech Industry Group at Accenture.
