Tidwells development of AdOctane.com, a new media-buying technology for advertisers, lifted the tedious process of media-buying out of the dark ages and propelled her company into the winners circle for Original Product Or Services Category".

As a female CEO in a fast-paced technology driven industry, I feel that it is a great honor to receive recognition from such a diverse and talented group of peers," says Tidwell. I hope that through great programs such as this, young women today will discover that there are no boundaries that a little creative thinking and a lot of hard work cant overcome."
