Another Awesome Woman in Information Technology
In my reading of What Would Google Do ( WWGD ), Marissa Mayer VP at Google is mentioned many times over. So I did some research on Marissa. Marissa Mayer is the Vice President of Search Product and User Experience at the search engine company Google . She rocks and here is why: Mayer received her B.S. in Symbolic Systems , graduating with honors , and M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University . She specializes in artificial intelligence (AI). In 2009, the Illinois Institute of Technology granted Mayer an honoris causa doctorate degree honoring her work in the field of search. Mayer was the first female engineer hired at Google and one of their first 20 employees, joining the company in early 1999.

Fortune magazine lists her as one of the 50 most powerful women in the world and the youngest woman ever to make the list!!...
