Seen this in the paper and laughed at some of the parts.

Quote:

Suddenly, a young woman stood up to talk.

She told the breakfast audience at last week’s IHS CERAWeek energy conference that they were losing money with old technology, that they should consider ways to use better data and cut down on costs.

Later, an executive who missed her introduction asked her if she was an intern or a marketing representative.

Allison Lami Sawyer’s title is CEO.

Of the roughly 30 CEOs who came to speak at the testosterone-heavy conference that closed Friday at the Hilton Americas-Houston downtown, only two were women.

It’s a fact that was hard to ignore and is representative of the energy industry’s largely male executive ranks.

“It’s just so strange,” said Sawyer, 28, CEO of leak-detection startup Rebellion Photonics. “You just never get over it.”

How many of the other CEOs were 28? That probably had as much to do with the confusion as her gender.
