Blaze, the PROS women’s network, to host
invitation-only reception
PROS® (NYSE: PRO), the revenue and profit realization company,
today announced its participation in the Grace Hopper Conference
for Women in Computing. The event, which will be held in Houston
for the second consecutive year, is scheduled for Oct. 19-21 at the
city’s George R. Brown Convention Center. The conference is the
world’s largest gathering of women technologists, with more than
15,000 expected to participate.
“PROS is a destination company for women in technology who are
passionate about making a material and measurable impact for
customers around the world,” said PROS President and CEO Andres
Reiner. “It’s a great honor to have three members of BLAZE, the
PROS women’s network, representing the company as speakers at the
Grace Hopper Conference.”
“As a gold sponsor, we’ll have BLAZE members available to meet
with conference participants at our booth to hear firsthand about
PROS, our culture and their experiences of working for Houston’s
largest publicly traded cloud company,” said PROS Vice President,
Strategic Consulting, Tonya DeWeese. “Our reception also offers
opportunities for guests to speak with an expanded PROS team. We
encourage participants interested in learning more about the
company to join us.”
Three BLAZE members will deliver presentations at the
conference:
- Setareh Mardan, Ph.D., a member of the
company’s science team, will deliver a poster presentation titled
“How to Identify Customers Likely to Churn,” based on her research
and PROS patent-pending technology. Her case study illuminates the
challenges of a medical equipment distributor with hundreds of
thousands of products and customers. Mardan will showcase how PROS
predictive analytics combine churn analysis and customer buying
patterns to identify the most valuable, at-risk customers. She will
reveal the investment result that could save the company $3-$8
million if a conservative percentage of the flagged customers were
saved from churning.
- PROS Content Strategist Emily Zinsitz
and co-presenter Samantha O’Dell of Salesforce.com will deliver six
round-table presentations in the Student Opportunity Lab. They will
share the fundamentals of their work as technical writers who
manage at ground zero for product knowledge. The two will showcase
the diverse skills and connections developed through this trade
that can super-charge careers on the business or technical sides of
the industry.
- PROS Senior Software Engineer Karis Ng
will join forces with Aon Hewitt’s Vanessa Hernandez and Melissa
Koch, director of content and curriculum with the Anita Borg
Institute. Together they will provide career-building guidance with
local leaders and women technologists.
BLAZE will co-host an opening night reception with Sapient
Global Markets on Tuesday, Oct. 18, from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. in
downtown Houston near the convention center. To participate, visit
