Serial entrepreneur Mary Vincent is crossing the Atlantic to speak at a Girl Geeks Dinner in Glasgow on Tuesday 13th April. Mary, who’s based in San Francisco, and has an impressive track record of software product innovation, is now an ambassador and evangelist for green software solutions.

 In addition to some local sightseeing, Vincent acknowledges the importance of meeting local people to gauge the character of a place “I visited Edinburgh and Inverness many years ago, enjoying Edinburgh Castle, the beauty of Inverness, Loch Ness and talking with everyone I could. For me, visiting a place is not only about the places to see, but the people to meet.”

Vincent is a keen advocate of networks with both women and men, she stresses the importance of the global Girl Geek Dinners, mentioning that the “[San Francisco] Bay Area Girl Geeks have sponsored a variety of thought-provoking events with great speakers and start-up competitions.”

 Girl Geek Scotland is a community for women of all ages interested in technology, creativity and computing. We welcome people from all walks of life, whether they work in business or research, are studying at university or simply have geeky aspirations. We also love having the support of the Boy Geeks who attend our events.
