SMB Nation and the woman behind it.

Beatrice Mulzer

Vice President, SMB Nation beatricem@smbnation.com

It is not enough to be a #1 rated trainer and an MCSE. For Beatrice Mulzer its all about making the SBSC community stand up and be counted, but also be accountable. From the classroom to the editing room this is one absolutely no nonsense IT professional, that exemplifies the type of "techie" that makes for an ideal model for young women everywhere. In one week, at SMB Nation, she will grace us with her presence and impart some invaluable insight into her own challenges in a still very male dominated arena.
