Meet two trailblazing businesswomen in the IT sector
SAN DIEGO, California (PRWEB) May 29, 2015 -- John Dewey once said, “The highest mark of intelligence is to recognize and grasp a genuine opportunity.”
Two women in Orange County, California did just that in 1962 when they opened the first regional data processing bureau, the field of expertise that would later come to be known as “information technology”, or IT. In a field dominated by men, Deane Zager and Diane Turner had a small office open for business in less than 24 hours.
“As executive women in the business, we were definitely an anomaly,” Zager said. “We built a booming business in a man’s world from the ground up, and earned respect while doing it.”
Zager’s new book, “The Highest Rung of the Ladder”, is full of stories of their unorthodox business adventures as they build a business in a man’s world while still maintaining an active family and social life. It explores their story with laughter and demonstrates the value of ambition, determination and friendship.
