Triangle Lifestyles Magazine Features Heather Hesketh
Technology Entrepreneur is Honored as a Woman of Accomplishment
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raleigh, NC - 16 March 2001 — Heather Hesketh, founder, president and CEO of leading web services firm hesketh.com is featured in the March/April issue of Triangle Lifestyle Magazine, an issue that publisher Margaret Webb says is one of her favorites. "I love learning about some of the Triangle's most accomplished and interesting women," she declares in her opening letter from the publisher. "We highlight women in this issue as a tribute to women's history month."
Other accomplished women featured in the issue are NCSU Wolfpack women's basketball coach Kay Yow, Duke doctor and biochemist Dr. Laura Niklason, and world-famous jazz singer Nnenna Freelon.
In her article on Heather, author Leona Bloom lauds the hesketh.com president for her life-view as well as for her accomplishments. Heather is quoted as saying, "I'm not the kind of person who measures success by the bottom line. (Though hesketh.com is financially quite successful.) Success is also enjoying my job, working with bright, dedicated people and feeling like my life is integrated...balance is very important."
On the accomplishment side, the list is a long one. Financial success came early in Heather's career as a result of her solid engineering skills and her understanding of business information delivery needs. Heather has a degree in aerospace engineering, which is complimented by studies in applied anthropology and art education.
A fascination with how people interact and communicate lead to the formation of hesketh.com in 1995, and since that time, high-profile clients from around the globe have added to her company's stature among the web services' elite.
Heather is a founding and planning member of Triangle InterNetworkers. She is also a founding member of (TW)2 (formerly the local chapter of Webgrrls International).
Hesketh says she helped launch Triangle Webgrrls "because I was looking for my niche in the industry. It just so happened that the only special interest group specifically for the Internet industry turned out to be a community of women." (TW)2 provides a forum for women to exchange information, give job and business leads, learn about new technologies, mentor one another, and participate in training opportunities.
