Urging women to concentrate on moving forward rather than “up,” Ping Fu, chief strategy officer for 3D Systems, described life as a mountain range that needs to be scaled. “Forget about this glass ceiling stuff,” she said at a May 29 Washington, D.C., panel discussion on women, democracy and technology.
Fu and other panelists discussed how technology is changing the way citizens communicate with their governments and how it can be used to open more opportunities for women in politics. Other speakers were former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, NDI chairman; Shelly Esque, vice president of Intel; Stephanie Cutter, former deputy campaign manager for President Obama’s 2012 campaign and partner at Precision Strategies; and Laura Inés López Padilla, president of the board of Mexico’s Network of Support for Women Municipal Leaders (REAMM). Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast and Newsweek, moderated the panel, which was hosted by NDI.
