Women in Tech: Marissa Mayer

The tech world is progressively becoming one of the most important sectors in today’s business world. Though there is no obvious reason, women have been relatively slow about breaking into the market.

Marissa Mayer, the new CEO of Yahoo!, recently spoke up about being a (fashion-loving, six-months-pregnant) woman in the tech industry.

“There’s all kinds of different women who do this,” she said. “You can wear ruffles; you can be a jock, and you can still be a great computer scientist, or a great technologist, or a great product designer.”

Last year, Mayer inspired women across the globe with her advice:

“Find something you’re passionate about and just love. Passion is really gender-neutralizing.”
