OTTAWA – Broadcast technology manufacturer Ross Video announced Friday Amanda Holtstrom (above), product manager for its DashBoard product, was selected as one of the recipients of the National Capital Region’s Forty Under 40 award.
The annual event is presented by the Ottawa Board of Trade and the Ottawa Business Journal (OBJ), and the 2020 online celebration will be aired on Thursday, June 25th from 8 to 9 p.m. on YouTube Live, Rogers TV and OttawaMatters.com.
Holtstrom is a graduate of Queens University with a degree in computer engineering (2004) and English literature (2006). She is a professional engineer, speaker and educator who explores the interaction between technology and humans, says the Ross Video release. “She also actively supports and champions girls and women aspiring to enter technology industries, believing that these fields are improved and enriched through diversity.”
The product Holtstrom’s team looks after, DashBoard, is a critical part of the Ross business because it sits at the heart of a production system, controlling Ross and other third-party products via an intuitive and customizable touchscreen interface.
“As a scholar and thought-leader in user-orientated design and change management, Amanda will inevitably inspire her team and the wider company to continue innovating. We all congratulate Amanda on this wonderful achievement,” said company CEO David Ross.
