The July 1999 appointment of Carly Fiorina as president and chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Co. brought to the surface just how few women are in management/high-level positions in the information technology (IT) industry. An Australian Information Industry Association survey found that 24% of IT positions are held by women, but only 17% of senior IT jobs are held by women. However, women's IT associations and networks are growing in Australia.
