| Organization Description | B2B Power Exchange is a lead exchange group that focuses on helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, consultants and business development pros that sell to senior decision makers at companies with $10 million or more in annual revenues. Our members focus on large, complex business-to-business sales, so most lead groups and Chamber mixers don't provide them with the resources they need. We're different. Our forum of power players knows that the fastest way to the executive suite is through partnerships with others focused on B2B. That's why we leverage our combined skills and executive contacts to expand our pipelines and increase the value we offer our corporate clients.

| Description | FountainBlue's When She Speaks Women-in-Leadership Series highlights the stories of influential Silicon Valley women in high technology and life sciences companies. These monthly events provide opportunities to celebrate leadership, share best practices and forge bonds with fellow professionals in support of women in leadership. Men and women professionals in support of having women in leadership positions are welcome to attend. For more information on When She Speaks, visit http://www.fountainblue.biz/executiveevents/whenshespeaks.html. For notes from previous sessions, visit http://www.fountainblue.biz/resources/whenshespeaksnotes.html. This Month's Event: Succeeding in a Man's World There is no contesting that men are the predominant leaders in the high-tech, life science and clean-energy industries. They serve at most of the C-Level and other senior executive positions, and also at the board level. Although women leaders have made some progress in breaking the barriers into the executive suites and beyond, it's clear that the women who have succeeded in breaking into this male-dominated world have learned to 'play the game' while leveraging their strengths. This month's When She Speaks event convenes a panel of these women forging change: women who have advanced to the executive ranks by rules established by today's male-dominated leadership teams. Our speakers will share their inspiring stories, tell us how they are supporting fellow women leaders, provide words of advice and encouragement for all of us, and challenge us to rise to our potential within the constraints of our environment. Facilitator Patti Wilson, CareerCompany, http://www.careercompany.com, has been a career and executive coach working with senior executives for more than 20 years. Patti will frame the discussion while sharing the perspectives of the many executives she has counseled through the career transition and career advancement process. Panelist Linda Fosler, Linda Prowse Fosler & Associates, has served in executive management roles in HR, marketing, technology and business development at HP and other large and small high-tech organizations across the valley. Linda will share the challenges and trade-offs she made to build and grow influence and achieve sustainable results worthy of respect. Panelist Francine Gordon is President of FGordon Group and President of ATW for 2007. Francine will share her research on women leaders and managers, her perspective on the differences between these leadership styles and her advice on how women can leverage these differences as positive differentiators. Panelist Mona Hudak Senior Diversity and Inclusion Program Manager from Cisco Systems will share her perspectives in pursuing an engineering career, and her challenges in changing the culture of her organization to be more receptive and welcome to female engineers in general. Panelist Praveena Varadarajan is currently director of engineering at Sun Microsystems. Praveena bravely choose a male- dominated profession, and has successfully not only mastered the knowledge, but is continuing to succeed while embracing empowerment and collaboration in an engineering-oriented culture. Patti will facilitate the discussion which will cover each panelists' personal stories as well as words of wisdom, advice, and best practices around succeeding in male-dominated industries.
