Sonya Sepahban, 2012 Women of Color Technologist of the Year, was keynote speaker at the 2016 Women of Color STEM Conference Technology Recognition Luncheon
More than 100 women were recognized for excellence and leadership in technology-related fields as part of the annual Women of Color in Technology awards program.
“Technology All-Star” awards recognize accomplished women of color from mid-level to advanced stages of their careers that have demonstrated excellence in the workplace and in their communities.
“Technology Rising Star” awards recognize women in the early stages of their career who are helping to shape technology for the future.
Sepahban was senior vice president, Engineering Development and Technology for General Dynamics Land Systems, when she received the Technologist of the Year award.
Among her achievements, she led a team that produced the revolutionary double-V-hull design for the U.S. Army’s Stryker infantry combat vehicle, saving lives by increasing the vehicle’s protection against improvised explosive devices.
