Ana Gervasio
ana [at] bridgecollective.com

is inherently 2.0 because she fears nothing (except insects), has a history of bossing around bosses, and a truly formidable sense of Can-Do. Ana has undauntedly manned the helm of her own business through both smooth and choppy waters despite repeated offers of salaried positions (with benefits). She lives Uptown, Toronto, with her 2 Apple Computers, 5 Moleskines, and a infinite number of brightly coloured shoes.

Beverly Crandon
beverlycrandon [at] ad-ition.com

is inherently 2.0 because she fearlessly gave “it” all up to work for (and find) herself, makes conscious decisions to choose personal gain over financial, and can cook a seriously mean couscous with curried shrimp infused with coconut sauce. In the spirit of improving the norm while keeping the customer foremost in mind, Beverly is the founder of ‘ad-ition,’ helping media moguls re-build and attain their customer base online. She lives in downtown Toronto, with her very fabulous rooftop patio.

Kristina Mausser
kristina.mausser@gmail.com

is inherently 2.0 because she would rather splurge on a shopping spree at BestBuy than on a new pair of Manolo Blahniks …although she’s creative enough to find the resources to do both.  Kristina is a firm believer that technology is the facilitator of communications and has taken her lowly English degree to places her parents never dreamed as President and Senior Web Content Strategist of Digital Word. Kristina lives close to the “new French Quarter” of Ottawa, traditionally known as Vanier, and has been known to enjoy a cosmopolitan or two with friends on any number of the fabulous patios located in and around the nation’s capital.

Melany Gallant
melanygallant [at] gmail.com

is inherently 2.0 because she is deeply interested in how technology can help people connect with one another and “do things” more efficiently. Melany’s PR background has provided her the opportunity to work in a variety of industry sectors, high tech being her favourite. Currently the Director of Marketing for Ramius Corporation, Melany helps the company market its online community product and expertise to the world at large. She has supported the Ottawa high tech community through her involvement with the Ottawa BarCamp events and is excited to share her passion for technology with other like-minded women through Women 2.0. Melany lives in Ottawa and strives to master gardening and knitting one of these days.

Veronica Giggey
veronica_giggey [at] rogers.com

is inherently 2.0 because she is passionate about the idea that it’s not about the technology but about what people can do with it. Her past experience includes working as a consultant for two different collaboration software vendors helping their clients make the most out of their solutions. She is now a project manager at Social Media Group and is committed to helping companies use Web 2.0 technologies to form relationships with their clients, employees, partners, shareholders and all their constituents.  She lives in Ottawa with her family but has not-so-secret plans to move to a lovely Honduran beach.
