In a stereotypically male-dominated industry (which we can attest to via the male vs female ratio at 101domain) it’s great to see women who have worked their way into top positions and who have the power to influence the future of the domain industry. In honor of International Women’s Day, we want to take a moment to celebrate some of these amazing ladies!
