While technology continues to be one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy, women are leaving the field despite the career opportunities the sector offers. Analytics Insight believes that the contributions of women to the field should not just be celebrated, but championed. Their release of The 10 Most Influential Women in Technology 2020 in their July issue shows the transformative and groundbreaking work of 10 women technologists from a variety of fields.
“The selected executives share their powerful stories and how they are leaving a mark on the technology world through disruptive innovation,” explains Analytics Insight CEO and Founder Ashish Sukhadeve. “We congratulate all the selected executives for their valuable contribution and driving a change in the industry.”
The magazine showcases Tracey Koziol on the front cover, the Senior Vice President, Global Offerings Solutions for the Xerox Corporation. She’s responsible for the strategy, execution, and portfolio planning for workplace and production solutions at Xerox. Also featured in the issue is Elaine Wiedman-Grunewald as the magazine’s Executive of the Month. Her AI Sustainability center ensures human values remain at the core of technology decisions.
