WITI Women | Rose Robinson Mauriello

4. Who has been the most influential person in your life? Why?
I prefer to select two people here. They are my best girlfriend, Wendy Jacobs and my husband of 15 years, Gino Mauriello. The reasons are that they have both been great support systems to me. Wendy is someone who has always provided honest and open advice and feedback that has been invaluable. Gino has always been there as a support system and has helped me get through challenging stages in life, for example when I was working in a management position, going to Babson for an MBA at night and having my first child. Even now, I am able to devote much of my time to my career because of the supportive environment that I have at home.

5. What lessons have you learned that would be valuable to women beginning their careers in technology?
The lessons that I have learned are to ask the right questions to the right people to find out what you need to know to be successful in your current position or the one that you may want next. Also, it's critical to set career goals and have a plan for how you will reach them. Through trial and error I learned what I enjoy doing and what my strengths are.

6. What new technology do you believe will have the most positive impact on the world in the next 20 years? The most negative impact?
The Internet will have the most positive impact on our lives and how we communicate and share information. As this technology advances and becomes more widely used it will have a dramatic impact on productivity. The most negative impact of technology is that the amount of human interaction that occurs lessens as technology advances.
