Women in Technology (WIT) recognizes Neera Mathur

How do you become a Women in Technology (WIT) Woman of the Year Award Honoree? Ask IBMer Neera Mathur, and she’d probably tell you there’s more to it than a passion for enterprise data solutions, which she has. There’s more to it than deep technical knowledge, business understanding, and strong communication skills, all of which she has. There’s even more to it than essential experience leading a core team of IT architects, IT specialists, business analysts, and software engineers—experience that she, of course, has. No, what Neera might say is that to achieve an honoree status like WIT Woman of the Year, you must constantly re-invent yourself and inspire the next generation. Neera might advise you to take an active role in the community, like she has, dedicating time to the self-empowerment of elementary and middle school girls to choose careers in tech. Or she might recommend leading volunteer teachers for Girls Who Code or mentoring students in the non-profit organization Cool Girls, as she has. Whatever Neera might say, we’re proud that we, at IBM, can not only say she’s one of us, but that she’s been a role model during her entire thirty-five year tenure at IBM.
