While names like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg may be the first that spring to mind when discussing tech innovation, some of the biggest movers of the proverbial needle have been women.
Take Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's billionaire chief operating officer, or Marissa Mayer, the former CEO of Yahoo! who oversaw the dotcom company's successful sale to Verizon.
These are just two women who have taken up the baton, proudly following in the footsteps of some of history's greatest inventors and thinkers.
