Women's Careers in Tech
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide
provider of enterprise software platforms, today announced that it
will sponsor and host a 5K run in association with Datastrong, a BI
and data warehousing solutions provider, on Wednesday, April 19,
2017, at MicroStrategy’s annual user conference, MicroStrategy
World 2017. All proceeds from the event will benefit STEM for Her,
a non-profit foundation that supports young women and girls in the
Washington, D.C. region who are interested in pursuing careers in
science, technology, engineering and math fields of study.
“Through hands-on training and mentoring programs, we impact the
lives of hundreds of young women in the local community,” said
Marian McKee, Board Chair, STEM for Her. “When technology
organizations, like MicroStrategy and Datastrong, come together and
actively support programs that encourage gender diversity, they are
15 percent more likely to outperform their competitors.”
“Datastrong understands that science, technology, engineering,
and math are what makes society progress and contribute to
improving our future,” said Jacqueline Meriwether, Managing Partner
at Datastrong. “Teaming up with STEM for Her provides the community
at MicroStrategy World with opportunities to impact the young women
and girls that will be the future talent in our technology
organizations.”
“According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 1.4
million computer science jobs will be available in America by 2020.
At MicroStrategy, we are focused on supporting the young minds who
aspire to fill those roles,” said Susan Cook, Executive Vice
President of Sales for North America, MicroStrategy Incorporated.
“Supporting this locally-based non-profit foundation directly
benefits the young women and girls in the Washington, D.C. region
who are aiming to hold a STEM-related career.”
The race is also supported by MicroStrategy’s “At The Table,” a
