I am happy to report that Pipeline’s #womaninnovator media campaign is in full swing. Being the lucky Strategic Initatives Associate that I am, I have gotten to interview many vibrant women innovators and ask them to define and explain what that label means to them. When Pipeline is not behind the FlipCam, we are online posing questions to our Twitter and Facebook audience. How would you define the term #womaninnovator? Here are some exciting responses that we have received!
 
@crunkfeminists: A #womaninnovator brings their bold visions & thoughts 2 the world, (re)creating the magic that will heal & help us all!!
 
@sorayadarabi: a #womaninnovator is the same…as a man who innovates…creative and bold.
 
@WomenWhoTech: To me an innovator is someone who is entrepreneurial, a collaborator, networked and can check their ego. A leader.
 
@eldorn: A #womaninnovator looks for truth and will stop at nothing to pursue a correct idea.

Join the conversation: Using the #womaninnovator hashtag, tweet your definition to us at @PipelineWomen!
