pure-play fire protection and security company, announced today it is a
proud sponsor of the Massachusetts
Conference for Women, which will host its 10th annual
event on December 4 in Boston. The conference features nationally
recognized speakers and provides professional women with workshops and
seminars on entrepreneurship, professional development and personal /
professional life balance.
A committed supporter of bringing more women into technology-related
fields, Tyco Security Products will showcase some of its innovative
solutions during the conference as well as bring one of its dynamic
leaders to host an important panel. Anita Santos, Vice President of
Marketing for Tyco Security Products, will host “Transitions and Risk
Taking: Lessons Learned While Becoming Brave,” featuring a panel of
experts who will discuss professional ambition, risk taking and how to
affect a smooth professional transition. With more than 18 years of
business-to-business marketing and sales experience, including 12 years
of executive leadership in the science, technology and research
industries, Santos leads Tyco Security Products’ business and marketing
strategy development, manages product management teams and oversees
channel management activities.
“There are simply not enough women leaders in technology fields and, in
particular, security technology. We have a unique opportunity at this
important conference to network with some of the region’s strongest
leaders and introduce the idea of innovative technology in the security
field to women who are just starting their careers,” said Santos.
Passionate about supporting startup organizations, Santos is an SEC
accredited investor and owner of Ascend Investments LLC, an angel
investment firm. She also serves as an advisory member of Astia Angels,
which provides women start-ups with access to capital.
The sold-out conference will be attended by more than 8,000 women from
around the world, offering exhibitions, a Career Pavilion for employment
seekers, a Young Women’s Program for high school juniors and seniors and
the announcement of the winner of this year’s “Be the Change Award.”
