How does an engineer at Bell Laboratories in the 1980’s wind up as a 
champion of women in science in Europe? Hear the story of one female 
computer scientist as she navigated through some of America’s most 
esteemed technology companies, built a career in Silicon Valley and then 
had to start over after moving to Prague when her husband became U.S. 
Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Plenty of career hacks will be 
provided as we look forward to a lively session peppered with 
entertaining stories and serious advice.

Tamar Newberger is a computer scientist who has held executive positions 
and leadership roles in companies such as AT&T;, Novell, SCO and 
Catbird, a Silicon-Valley start-up focused on cloud security which was 
sold in 2017. For the past three years, Ms. Newberger lived in Prague 
where her husband served as the United States Ambassador to the Czech 
Republic. Tamar is active in promoting technology and science to young 
women considering careers in these fields, both in the USA and abroad.

Prior to relocating to Prague, Tamar was on the board of The Young 
Women’s Leadership Charter School, Chicago’s only all-girls public 
school, whose mission is to help lower-income Chicago young women 
prepare for college and beyond. YWLCS has a  particular emphasis on STEM 
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum. She is 
also on the board of a women’s foundation in Chicago and was on the 
Technology Advisory Committee for Obama  For America.

Women Accelerators (formerly de la Femme) is a Massachusetts 
organization passionate about promoting the advancement of women and 
bridging the gender gap. This can be seen in the wage gap and 
under-representation of women in senior-level positions and the 
boardroom, from Corporate 100 to startups. Our mission is to provide a 
centralized network and community where career-focused women can access 
resources tailored toward their career goals. We provide resources and 
information to help women efficiently navigate work opportunities and to 
provide a supportive environment that will nurture female leaders. Our 
vision is to generate a community of like-minded, high-achieving women, 
who help each other to succeed in the workplace.

Corporate Sponsorship opportunities are available.  Email
