The TechWomen Awards honor three exceptional women in the technology industry — the Tech Student of the Year, Tech Educator of the Year and Tech Professional of the Year — for their achievements and contributions in the field in 2024.
Gail Goodman spent 17 years as CEO of Constant Contact, a provider of online marketing tools for small businesses and nonprofits. Goodman led the company from pre-revenue to a successful IPO (NASDAQ: CTCT) in 2007 and through its acquisition by Endurance in 2016 for $1.1 billion. At the time of the acquisition, more than 650,000 small businesses and nonprofits used Constant Contact’s online marketing tools to engage their customers and grow their businesses and company revenues topped $375 million. She also helps underserved entrepreneurs turn their dreams into reality working with EforAll as both a mentor and board chair.
Author of “Engagement Marketing: How Small Business Succeeds in a Socially Connected World,” Goodman is a frequent speaker at national technology and entrepreneurial events.
Her 2013 TEDx talk, “Founders Can’t Scale,” offers a glimpse into her management philosophy and personal drive, especially as it relates to scaling a startup into a large, public company.
She serves on the Boards of Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), Jobber, and Entrepreneurship for All. Gail holds a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Amos Tuck School at Dartmouth College.
