Software, developing the company's top product, the digital trader
workstation. Prior to TIBCO, Chang served as a senior engineer at

Forbes magazine called her "a woman of substance." Also in 1998,
Red Herring magazine highlighted Chang as one of their top 10 entrepreneurs
of the year and named Vitria one of the top 50 private technology
companies (the company has since gone public). A frequent speaker
at industry and business events, Chang spoke at the 1999 PC Forum
and was invited by the Smithsonian Institution to serve as a judge
