We were honored that Science Exchange Founder & CEO Elizabeth Iorns was identified as one of 15 “Women Tech Leaders We Love” by VentureBeat last month.
The list (see below for full list) ran alongside a guest post by Karen Purcell about the lack of women in tech being a function of the lack of woman leaders in tech (see Want more women in tech? Get more women leaders in tech). The lack of women in scientific leadership is something Elizabeth feels strongly about and has addressed in a recent blog post.
It is great to see Elizabeth’s contribution as a “science entrepreneur” being acknowledged in this way.
Congrats Elizabeth!
