This week we celebrated 2016’s International Women’s Day. Jive’s CEO, Elisa Steele, joined fellow women execs in Houston, Texas, for Pink Petro’s  International Women’s Day: A Conversation with the C-Suite event to discuss the women in tech movement, the rise of women in STEM related jobs and their personal thoughts on the future of digital technologies.
