Jeanette Cajide, VP of Strategy at Dialexa, was honored at the Dallas Business Journal's 2023 Women in Technology Awards.
Cajide helps Dialexa grow by creating new offerings, services, and products that are differentiated in the marketplace.
She began her career path to technology as a product manager at Accenture, leading marketing, sales, pricing terms and market positioning of the global help desk.
“I loved the geopolitical complexities that impacted labor, technology infrastructure, processes, and costs,” Cajide told the Dallas Business Journal. “I realized then I had a gift to hold a lot of competing information in my head at once, and still be confident on the direction we should go.”

What do you consider your biggest accomplishment over the past year?
Dialexa was acquired by IBM to lead IBM’s global digital engineering approach. Dialexa started in 2010 as a product company, helping other companies build world-class software and hardware. It is an honor to be recognized for our innovative approach to solving complex technology problems by a blue-chip company like IBM.
What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve faced in your career and how did you overcome it?
I was not formally educated in technology so it was difficult at times to convince more technical people that I knew what I was talking about and that I could contribute to the conversation, even though I didn’t know how to code. I was able to break free from the stigma when I successfully launched my first startup and was published in The Huffington Post and Entrepreneur Magazine online for my views on technology.
