Amanda Raney, Panelist
Here’s what Sloss Tech has to say about Amanda Raney, who currently serves as First Vice President at Morgan Stanley:
Amanda thinks of new ways to do things and does them. She makes people and idea connections that aren’t obvious, and it usually leads to magic. An entrepreneur at heart, Amanda loves to use her knowledge of capital markets and her 13 years of experience building personal/business financial strategies to help entrepreneurs and executives bridge connections and make smart, informed decisions.
Just added: Ashley Gann, Panelist
Here’s what we know about Ashley Gann:
[She’s an] advocate for women in science and strongly believes in the value of STEM professions for all. Ashley’s education includes a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering and a Masters in Geosciences, concentrating in Broadcast and Operational Meteorology.
I don’t know about you, but that right there is pretty freakin’ awesome. And there’s more:
An American Meteorological Society Certified Broadcast meteorologist, Ashley has worked from Meridian, Mississippi to Atlanta, Georgia. Her move back to Alabama was initially to Montgomery where she became the nation’s youngest female chief meteorologist (at the time).
While part of that title has expired, she still remains the first and only female chief meteorologist in the state.
Ashley’s also a wife, mom to 3 young children and an active member at her church.
With a panel like that, how can you not want to be in the room? I for one want to be there to hear what they have to say about leadership and Birmingham’s emerging tech scene. If you want to go, too, get your ticket here.
