Who is MakerBot CEO Jenny Lawton?

Jenny Lawton is now the CEO of MakerBot. She recently told her personal story to TechRepublic. 
Here’s the thumbnail sketch: Lawton worked her way into the technology side of the first company she worked for, then she started her own company. After selling it, she opened a bookstore. Then she came to MakerBot. She was announced as CEO last September.
If you attended our Diversity In/Tech event, you heard her tell much of this story in person at the Navy Yard. If you missed that event, this is a good wrap of the personal backstory of one of the borough’s most important tech leaders.
She tells TechRepublic:

I don’t seek out a new job, I usually go to the next thing thats interesting. I’ve done a lot of different things and don’t usually do the same thing twice. I love to learn and grow. I love taking things that are new and being able to grow them up. The biggest thing is I don’t take the answer no very well. ‘You can’t do that’ isn’t really in my vocabulary. If I want to do something I’m going to see if I can do it and do it to the best of my abilities. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail.
