The program is led by Chapter Hackathon Leads Anant Zohar (Bay Area Chapter), Aruna Nadesan (Pittsburgh Chapter), and Usha Ramalingam (St Louis Chapter), who are guiding their respective teams throughout the competition.
WiBD is also fortunate to have Deana Hsu, CSM, CPOSP, CHPC, and AI Consultant, on board as the WiBD Hackathon Agile Coach/Coordinator. Ms. Hsu will be ensuring teams stay on track by implementing Agile methodologies and best practices.
