This week we meet Cathi Rodgveller, the Founder and CEO of Ignite Worldwide.

Cathi tells us of the sometimes 10 to 1 ratio of men to women in tech jobs and the need to shrink that disparity.

Ignite Woldwide’s mission is to create opportunities to spark girls’ excitement about technology careers and inspire them to new possibilities. Girls in grades K-12, and college from all backgrounds interact with professional women in technology careers during the school day. The students are able to glimpse themselves as innovators and entrepreneurs through stories of successful women who work and live in their communities. Working with teachers, Ignite increases girls interest and participation in computer science and engineering classes.
