Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Under-Serve, the podcast for the rest of

the tech industry.

I'm your host, Andrew Gelina.

With me in studio is Jen McComas, CTO of Energy and Utilities Industry Squad at IBM.

Jen, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much, Andrew.

It's great to be here.

Yeah, it's nice to be able to visit with folks in person.

Finally, I know we're getting ready to emerge like the rest of spring.

So way back in the day, what kind of led you into technology and the industry?

Well, I think like a lot of grads coming out of school with bachelor's degrees in the

early 90s.

I think we might have all tumbled into technology.

I attended Brandeis University, which is not far from here and I studied political science

with a background in peace studies.

I thought that I wanted to go to law school, figured out about my junior senior year that

maybe that wasn't the road that I wanted to take.

So, you know, upon graduation, that left me with a very robust resume in food service.

So I had that under my belt and I had certifications in life guarding and water safety instruction.

I taught swimming at the local beach in our town, which very unfriendly closed the end

of July.

What town?
