By: Sylvia Clubb, GreatAmerica: With nearly 32 years’ experience in the industry and a track record of unparalleled excellence, Jennie Fisher is an incredible example of female success in the office technology industry.

During this Women’s History month, I sat down with Jennie to talk about the joys and challenges of her career as a woman in the office technology space.

In the last 30 years, how have you seen or experienced a change in the business landscape for women?  

When I started building a presence in the marketplace, I began attending industry events and had the opportunity to speak at various meetings. It didn’t matter if it was a group of 30 people or 250 people – less than 2% of the people in the room were women. It was predominantly a male world.

Today, that looks very different and it’s exciting. There are several women owners in the industry as well as women executives and employees that are participating in the conversation. Not only that, but as some of the more tenured generations are looking to retire, many of these individuals are getting their daughters involved in the business.

Even in the workforce today, the percentage of women in leadership is still lighter than males.  Women bring great value and contributions to their organization, no matter their position within the company. However, the presence of women in the business world today is much greater than it once was. The opportunity for female leadership in the industry has increased. GreatAmerica founder, Tony Golobic, has always been supportive of having women in the organization and helping them continue to develop and achieve what they want in life.
