She became the youngest general manager at HP at the age of 33, ran a billion-dollar software business at 35, and became a CEO for the first time at 38 (all without turning into a self-centered, miserable jerk).

Information Technology Skill Standards, 2020 and Beyond
Volunteer, Subject Matter Expert
Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. 1700530, I worked with Collin College to support the national project “Information Technology Skill Standards, 2020 and Beyond.” This four-year grant will address the critical need for IT workers and provide up-to-date, easy-to-use, employer-led, future-facing skills standards. The initiative will facilitate curriculum development for two-year and four-year programs that offer applied information technology degrees as well as benefit smaller employers for use in identifying talent.
I participated as a subject matter expert in the Technical Project and Program Management cluster to help define the knowledge, skills, abilities, tasks and performance criteria that employers expect from workforce job candidates.
