Pioneering Women in Technology

Sheryl Sandberg

The most powerful woman in technology has been Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, for five consecutive years in a row. In this technological age we constantly hear men coming up with innovations, start –ups, technological developments and as holders of key positions in companies. But, it’s time for them to share their limelight with the women of the tech sector as the numbers have started to surge. And with this increase, they have also started making place for themselves in the list of world’s billionaires. These women are representing the presence of a strong female voice in the world.

It is always assumed that if it is a woman in business, it will have to do something either with clothing or with make-up. As time reveals, women have been involved in more hardcore tech issues and not just trivial or superficial ones.
