Magazine roundup: Top 100 women in technology 2023

Note: Kate Maxwell’s role at Microsoft changed after the publication of the Top 100 list and the above headline has been edited to reflect her new position.

Kate Maxwell is an accomplished technology leader and strategist serving defence and intelligence customers around the globe. Having formerly worked as Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer, Defense and Intelligence, Worldwide Public Sector (2020-2023), Maxwell is passionate about leveraging the intersection of people, technology, and culture to advance organisations, missions and multinational alliances.

A sought-after author, storyteller, and keynote speaker with expertise in Public Sector digital transformation, unmanned systems, space mission management and innovation leadership, Maxwell is a tireless advocate for STEM outreach and diversity across the technology sector.

Prior to this, she spent 17 years in the aerospace and D&I community “as a civilian”, using her training in computer science and systems engineering to understand the frontline of defence technology, principally working for the defence contractor Raytheon Technologies.

“Innovation is all about speed,” she said in an interview with Technology Magazine. “How do we cultivate a diverse, growth-oriented, fail-forward environment in which to create new mission capabilities for the defence community? And that’s similarly the name of the game for digital transformation.”
