A list of Inspirational Women in Tech
It’s not always easy to find tech leaders that are inspiring us, especially women. So I am compiling a list of women in technology that are engaging and inspiring. This list is live! So please keep the suggestions flowing and I’ll update this post.
My goal in creating and maintaining this list is to help women (and men!) in tech that are interested in getting a more feminine voice from their news feeds to know who to follow. This list contains women in tech that are active on either Twitter and/or LinkedIn and that are giving their POV, insight or ideas on specific topics.
Here is the Twitter List link: https://twitter.com/IngridBernaudin/lists/womeninleadership, so that you can easily follow them as well or check out what they are talking about these days and be inspired while waiting in line at Starbucks ;)
Thanks to all the women from WomenInProduct and my LinkedIn network who helped me compile this list!
