Girls In Tech

Girls in Tech is happy to announce the addition of its newest executive member, Robyn Cohen, who will be serving as the executive director of the LA chapter!

Robyn has written a blog entry to highlight why she is excited about joining the growing Girls in Tech team of leaders:

I am very excited to announce becoming the newest member of GIRLS IN TECH. Starting Monday September 15th, I will be taking the position of Executive Director for GIRLS IN TECH LA Chapter.

Having one foot always in the world of tech and innovation, I am very thrilled to be a part of this initiative. My background comes with many years in the Fashion and Beauty industries, with the last couple of years becoming involved with the web 2.0 world. However, I have always been very passionate about keeping up to date with tech. Be it the latest innovation with cars, or the newest operating system for Mac, or the latest gadget to be developed, that’s what I love. It’s about what is going to make my life easier, more interesting and more fun. I want to know about it!

Furthermore, and the most important part of being involved with GIRLS IN TECH, it’s about energizing women. Bringing them together and celebrating those that work in or have a passion for tech. As we know, the industry is dominated by men, but in the last few years women have really been making an impact in the world of tech. So, it’s our job at GIT to empower and educate women of all ages to enhance themselves, their careers and their lives with the exciting world of tech and innovation.

I look forward to working with the entire GIT team.
