British technology entrepreneur, business owner and activist, Tracy Pound will be chairwoman of the board of directors of CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry.
The founder and managing director of Maximity in Birmingham, England, Pound is the first industry executive from Britain to chair the CompTIA board.
Pound identified three areas of focus for the board and the association in the coming months.
“CompTIA has made great advances in workforce development and in championing apprenticeships as an opening to careers in technology and I look forward to expanding both of these programmes. The CompTIA ISAO will be a huge help in fighting cybercrime. CompTIA’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion remain central to all that we do. I’d really like to see a great step change for the better in our industry”, she said.
