Reshma Saujani (born November 18, 1975) is an American lawyer, politician, civil servant, and the founder of the nonprofit organization "Girls Who Code", which aims to increase the number of women in computer science and close the gender employment difference in that field. She worked in city government as a deputy public advocate at the New York City Public Advocate's office.[1] In 2009, Saujani ran against Carolyn Maloney for the U.S. House of Representatives seat from New York's 14th congressional district, becoming the first Indian-American woman to run for Congress.[2] In 2013, she ran as a Democratic candidate for Public Advocate, coming third in the primary.[3][4] Following the 2012 founding of Girls Who Code, Saujani was listed in Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list.[5]
