Heather Rocker, chief executive officer of Women in Technology (WIT), has been named as one of Georgia’s most influential leaders in Georgia Trend’s Georgia 500.
At a time when divisive politics and reductions in financial support are impacting nonprofits like WIT, Rocker has led the organization with a steady hand. She’s stayed laser-focused on creating more opportunities and more ways to support women in technology, across industries and at every career stage.
“The most powerful thing we can do for the future of technology is make sure everyone has a seat at the table and the tools to succeed once they get there.”
