Tracy Stone, the Global Leader of Tech Women @ Intuit, has an enviable job. She is responsible for an organization whose sole purpose is to attract, recruit, train, and advance women technologists. Note that this is not her “side” job in addition to her day job. Her strategic organization reports into the Chief Technology Officer. They have already accomplished a lot including pay equity for women on a world-wide basis. Tracy’s organization also runs their 500 person strong mentoring program, a returnship program which was started in India then transported back to the US. They encourage their women technologists to grow and last year had more than 15 speakers at the Grace Hoper Conference. To ensure the Tech pipeline stays full, they team up with Girls Who Code and host a summer immersion program to expose high school girls to tech and inspire them to pursue STEM careers. They are not stopping there, either. They are partners with NCWIT to understand the ties between influence and innovation. They are trying to understand how influence impacts innovation in companies and what can be done to ensure that all employees get heard and influence the direction of innovation.
