Girls in Tech Welcomes Its New Executive Director of the LA Chapter, Robyn Cohen
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.

Welcome Robyn! I just joined & am very anxious to get involved with Girls in Tech. I just relaunched my career last week (after a two year hiatus to marry & raise a family) & am working for a premiere intimate apparel e-tailer. Like you, my expertise is grounded in the world of fashion, so I look forward to hearing your input on how best to leverage the latest advancements in Web 2.0 so I can better offer advice on the world of intimate apparel and ultimately drive traffic to our eCommerce site.

I had a lightbulb moment at this event. I chatted with someone that I came frm a real estate (my career) networking event prior to the Girls in Tech event. It was a sea of people and left because who could accomplish anything there. The woman (in tech) response was that this is the place you need to be at to network because the future of networking is through people here and Digital marketing. Learn it, use it and be ahead of your competiton. GREAT ADVICE.
