Hedy Lammar
You might recognise this Hollywood starlet from the old black and white movies of the 1930s and 40s, but she wasn’t just a talented actress, she was actually a self-taught inventor who developed the technology that later became the basis for WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. She was a scrappy technologist with a vision. In every innovation and advancement, we experience in this great industry, Hedy’s footprint is at the heart of it. The world wouldn’t look the same if it wasn’t for Hedy.
That’s just two incredible women from history, but let’s turn our attention to the present day. There are some brilliant minds at work. Let’s take a look.
