Admiral Grace Hopper may stick in our minds as an unforgettable white-haired lady in a Navy uniform who coined the term "debug".
What's more, Grace Hopper was a great and innovative teacher, mathematician, computer scientist and pioneer. Over the course of her career, Admiral Hopper held positions in the military, private industry, business, and academe.
Read up on the amazing Grace Hopper and you'll see that it's no surprise that wherever she went, she was regarded as one of the most incisive, strategic "futurists" in the world of computing.
