 | stylebio As a busy mother of two and CEO of a Houston-based technology firm, Carrie Pacini was the ideal person to bring Operation Mom to life. After graduating from the University of Houston with a computer science degree, Carrie rose through the ranks of the technology world: programmer, project manager, and ultimately executive. But it was motherhood that eventually led Carrie to risk it all and become an entrepreneur to spend more time with her children. In 2002 Carrie walked away from her executive position to start her own firm, and has focused ever since on balancing business success with the work required to raise healthy, happy kids. In 2005
Carrie noticed that the technology world, her own backyard, often ignored moms when creating technology-based solutions. So she and her team began developing a product like nothing the industry has seen, and nicknamed the project "Operation Mom".
