Breaking Glass Ceilings: Dagnija Lacis on Women in Tech & Modernizing Latvia

In celebration of Women's History Month, Tech Simplified is honored to welcome Dagnija "Daggie" Lacis, a true trailblazer in the technology industry. From becoming one of the first female programmers in the U.S. to making history as the first female vice president at Unisys, Daggie’s career has paved the way for generations of women in tech.

Daggie shares her incredible journey—from breaking into the male-dominated IT world in the 1960s, to helping modernize Latvia’s IT infrastructure after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Her memoir, The Wall Falls, A Woman Rises, releases on March 18, 2025, highlighting her pioneering achievements and personal resilience.
