Simply Sonia with an I

I’ve been working in the Vancouver Start-up scene for almost two years now… I’ve met a an array of amazing women, who do their thing day in and day out – and rock it to say the least – Amielle Lake, Angel Pui, Grace Carter, Rochelle Grayson and so many more!

Today I’d like to focus on one of the wonderful women I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Meet Maura Rodgers. She’s just one of the reasons I love what I do.

Maura is the Executive Director of Bootup, and is not only my boss but has become an amazing friend. Spending our days just “getting shit done.”

Beyond the office, she’s been recognized as an inspiring Technology Evangelist, Geek of the Week and the go to person for many entrepreneurs. 

Her swagger is slick and smile contagious. Everything she does is done with passion.

She’s a chef, a mother, a mentor and a great friend. She’s all-in.

I am proud to nominate her personally for Fast Company’s Women in Tech 2011 #wit11
