CompTIA Community Chair Spearheads

Cristina Greysman, partner strategy at Amazon Web Services, sees herself and CompTIA as growing in tandem. “My involvement with CompTIA and AWIT [the association’s Advancing Women in Technology Community] and my career have been closely tied,” she said. “CompTIA has helped shape me and I’ve helped shape it.”

Greysman has been a member of AWIT’s executive council for six years and early last year assumed the role of its chair. “Is it an honor or a burden?” she joked. “I do see it as a culmination of my experience; writing the end of a chapter. I took AWIT from a startup to now becoming a platform for thinking bigger.”

Greysman points to AWIT bringing together a consortium of organizations working to advance women in IT. “They’re all doing one little thing,” she said. “What if we came together and tried to do one big thing?” She pointed to efforts like finding funding for women’s startups and addressing gender parity.

Under Greysman’s leadership as chair, AWIT has launched AWIT Connect, an online directory that compiles all of the tech resources available to women and girls. The idea was to “basically create the Google for women in tech,” Greysman said. Click here to learn more and search or browse currently listed organizations.
