VARBusiness senior editor Joy D. Russell on Wednesday moderated
a panel on the role of women executives in IT at the Breakaway XChange conference
in Orlando, Fla. "Women in Information Technology: Pleasures, Predicaments
and Pitfalls" examined the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated
industry. Panelists included Darci Arnold, vice president of global marketing
at Seagate; Tiffani Bova, director of sales and channel programs at Affinity
Internet; Sharon Habibi, founder, president and CEO of Syscom Technologies;
Gia McNutt, president and CEO of Special Order Systems; Rauline Ochs, vice
president of BEA's worldwide partner initiatives; and Valarie Remmers, vice
president of information technology at PFS.
The panelists discussed the lack of women in executive positions in the industry
as well as the business world. Members of the panel
said there were many obstacles to building a lengthy career in IT or any industry,
citing such examples as sexual harassment and finding time to raise a family.
"It takes a very tough skin to be a female trying to move up the ladder,"
Bova says. "It takes a lot of self-discipline and self-confidence to
be able to overcome those hurdles." The panelists addressed the role
of education, particularly lamenting the lack of female students in computer
science classes and programs. "At the lowest levels of the elementary,
middle school and high school education, girls aren't encouraged [to explore
an IT career].They're just not counseled by their parents,
high school teachers and counselors to go into this field." Offers windows
