Top 50 Women to Watch in Tech – Part III

And finally … the third instalment of the Top 50 Women to Watch in Tech. Read about the fist ten and second ten before digging in.

Please thank them by following them on Twitter, if you don’t already.

Without further ado, here are 10 women women in tech to watch (if you don’t already.) The list is in alphabetical order only.
