From resolving invoice issues to front-lining company audits, Christa has overcome every business obstacle sent her way with patience and diligence.

WHY THIS IS A BIG WIN

Christa's elevation to an executive leadership role is not only a pioneering company milestone but aims to break down the barriers instilled for women in tech. When asked about advising employees and peers who aim to climb the ladder, Christa emphasized solidifying work ethic, exuding confidence, and most importantly, voicing your beliefs.

"Working in a male-dominated industry can certainly amplify some of the stereotypes and challenges women face in their professional life. Although there have been huge strides towards gender equality and women's representation across all fields (Shoutout to Madam Vice President, Elect!) - we still have a long way to go. I am excited and proud of the opportunity to expand women's leadership within Tekscape and bring a female's perspective to the table."

- Christa Cook, Controller
