Recognized for Contributions in Melding Marketing, Technology, and Science
Washington, DC, April 12, 2012: TCG project manager Nina Preuss has been named by Women in Technology (WIT) as one of 49 finalists for its 13th Annual Leadership Awards. The awards honor women who have excelled as mentors, leaders, and role models in the Washington, DC technology industry. Ms. Preuss is one of five finalists in the Public Sector (Small Business) category. Winners in all 11 categories will be announced at the Leadership Awards Banquet on May 17, 2012 at the McLean Hilton, Tyson’s Corner, VA.
As a project manager with TCG, Ms. Preuss has mastered the connections between neuroscience, Biosafety Level 4 research into some of the world’s most dangerous microbes, emergency planning, and grants management, and how all of these are connected by big data, cloud computing, FISMA security, wireless, and web-based collaboration technologies. This insight, combined with her background in business and marketing, enables her to talk to, collaborate with, and help technology professionals create outcomes far greater than the sum of their parts. For example, one of the projects she manages, the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC), which TCG developed for NIH, won the Excellence.Gov 2009 “Best Overall” Award. Ms. Preuss has proven that marketing and business capabilities melded with technology and scientific skills help communities collaborate more effectively and efficiently.
“Nina possesses all of the qualities we look for in our employees. She is innovative, intelligent, and inspirational,” said TCG president Dan Turner. “We are thrilled that WIT has recognized what we’ve known for a long time: That Nina is truly a leader in her field. She is highly deserving of this nomination.”
