It's Ada Lovelace Day, a day to celebrate women in technology. And to mark the day I wanted to give a shout out to two women in technology i know in particular.
Someone once wrote to me that they thought having a woman as a CTO was like seeing a King Penguin in the Arctic - very rare and very cool.
I have had the rare pleasure to work with two such women. Vanessa Williams and Tisha Kanfi.
Vanessa was the tech director at MacLaren Interactive in its hayday and is the CTO and co-founder of our start-up oponia networks.
Tisha Kanfi is the technical director of Twist Image and as the important role to ensure that our creative minds will never be hampered and instead, enabled by technology.
And oddly, today of all days the two of them got to meet. I would have liked to have been a fly on that particular wall.
Happy Ada Lovelace day. And if you have the time, do flip through my postings tagged women as many of them are about women in technology... :)
