When we asked this year’s crop of leading women lawyers in tech to name a favorite gadget, we expected many would say “smartphone.” And of course, if you’ve spent the last few years representing Samsung at trial, as Victoria Maroulis has, you’d expect her to name her client’s latest model. Less expected were these lower-tech gadgets: Jura coffee maker; desktop tea kettle; Fitbit; Vitamix (I looked it up—it’s a kind of blender); an all-in-one apple corer. One thing all these gadgets have in common is that they help you get stuff done. And that’s what our 50 women leaders have in common, too: They get stuff done—stuff ranging from patent litigation to M&A to tech transactions to trademark counseling. The other thing these women do is lead: They lead teams, they lead organizations, they lead thought, and they often lead the way for other women in industry roles still dominated by men. Doing all of that takes more than just legal skills and hard work. It also requires caffeine, exercise, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and some times a standing desk or a yoga mat. But before you get into your sun salutations, take a few minutes to see how this year’s honorees got where they are, who helped them along the way, and how they get stuff done.
