Black People That Moved Tech Forward

Hey Strangers, #juneteenth #tech #ai There are many ways to celebrate Black History Month. Learning about amazing Black figures in American history. Discussing solutions to problems in diversity, equity, and inclusion at the office. Reading stories written by great Black authors. The list goes on. One thing we wanted to do at Purpose Jobs was highlight the contributions Black folks have made in the tech industry. We all know the story of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. You might know the story of Katherine Johnson if you saw the movie Hidden Figures. But do you know the story of Valerie Thomas? Or Mark Dean? In honor of Black History Month, we’re highlighting some of the most influential Black leaders in tech from history—and a few from today. Did we miss someone? Let us know! We love learning more about tech and the people that have made the industry what it is today. Looking to work with a pioneering tech team?
