How about a list of the "starters", women who've created and built companies.

Today Facebook continues to manage thousands of databases with only a handful of database-oriented personnel. The original "second DBA" was even only hired because eventually our first database engineer decided she wanted someone else to cover the night shift.'<br /><br />I don't know who that is (perhaps she's already listed) but she sounds amazing.Ruchira Dattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225230326635564528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291863788499397427.post-42888265675213547312011-01-06T23:00:29.318-08:002011-01-06T23:00:29.318-08:00Jess Lee, former Googler and PM on Google Maps, is...Jess Lee, former Googler and PM on Google Maps, is now the head of Product Management at Polyvore: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/about.teamJenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605781065248107473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291863788499397427.post-69325066440974975202010-12-31T07:36:33.253-08:002010-12-31T07:36:33.253-08:00I'm listing the awesome women in tech I've...I'm listing the awesome women in tech I've worked with, with a compromise: if they have a fully public profile on LinkedIn or similar service I've listed their full name and company.

Thanks very ...What a lot of awesome women on here! Thanks very much for including me on the list, I'm honored. One addition: from being a software engineer at Google I moved on to become a research specialist in computational biology at UC Berkeley. But I'm definitely still in tech. Our research group, the Berkeley Phylogenomics Group http://phylogenomics.berkeley.edu is led by Prof. Kimmen Sjölander--another woman in tech. I know of quite a few other women in computational biology who are even further off the radar than the other women in tech on your list. "It has often been said that being a prof is like running your own startup..." http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2010/05/secret-lives-of-professors.html We could compare and contrast research vs. startups (one difference w/ Matt Welsh's previous point-of-view as a CS professor is that, as computational biologists, we do make real applications with real loads from real customers, namely, biologists, so the scalability of our systems infrastructure is continually being challenged). But anyway, that would be a topic for a different discussion.Ruchira Dattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11225230326635564528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291863788499397427.post-22519428226939086252010-12-29T09:10:31.035-08:002010-12-29T09:10:31.035-08:00Proud to be part of this list, Siobhan.

If I had known it was being a builder, being an inventor, and being creative and solving interesting problems, it would have been a much more obvious dream in my young life. I hope that we can share that with other young women so they can connect those dots as well.
