Jennifer Francis is a retired tech leader who is passionate about supporting women’s growth in industries that have traditionally been dominated by men.
On the morning of Tuesday, March 5, we surprised Jennifer with a Community Builder Award at the Women Angel Investor Breakfast, an event as part of Invest Ottawa’s month-long International Women’s Month celebrations.
Jennifer is a co-founder of SheBoot: a non-profit organization that offers resources and support to women tech founders. Her advocacy for women and girls extends locally as a founder of United Way’s Women United program, and globally as a leader in the Technovation entrepreneurship competition for young women high school students as they grow their careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math).
To learn more about Jennifer’s commitment to mentoring and empowering women, read the article in the Ottawa Business Journal and listen to her interview with 580 CFRA.
