// Women in Technology

Microsoft is committed to actively contributing to the growth and development of local communities, with a particular focus on supporting women. Our goal is to help foster a community of networking and information sharing, enhancing women’s leadership and participation in the technology industry.

Locally, we are honored to have a wide spectrum of women leading the Microsoft New England R&D Center, including Angie Anderson, Partner Product Unit Manager, Application Virtualization; Jennifer Chayes, Managing Director, Microsoft Research and Sara Spalding, Senior Site Director.

We take an active approach to building community connections among women in the technology and business fields, in addition to encouraging aspiring youth to learn about emerging technology and career opportunities through support of a diverse range of events hosted on our campus.
