July 13, 2015
With all the attention on the lack of diversity in the technology scene it’s all too easy for dynamic women in the industry to fall under the radar. However, despite underrepresentation a stream of talented tech savvy gals are bucking the trend and making waves in Silicon Valley.
Some women work their way up the corporate ladder. But many quit day jobs to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams by carving a niche for themselves in innovative technology startups.
Earlier this year, Tech.co scoured Silicon Valley for 50 trailblazers working to make their mark and provide a much-needed female perspective in the fiercely competitive industry.
Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls Code, takes the number one spot on the list. Other innovators include Hermione Way, founder of WayMedia; Alicia Jenish, Executive Chef of Kitchit Tonight; and Erin Teague, Director of Product Management for Yahoo.
This is in no way an exhaustive or definitive list but it does display the wealth of talent and sheer determination of many women to move forward and shake off stereotypes.
