Advocating Women in Engineering Award
Sara Rosner
Intel
For enriching Israel’s STEM ecosystem; for embodying mentorship with authenticity; and for leveraging her own trailblazing experience to inspire and motivate women engineers and their allies.

Sara Rosner is a software engineering manager for Intel in Israel, specializing in project management, people management, and continuous improvement. In this role, she drives innovation and business strategic needs.
Rosner is product owner of feature teams responsible for introducing and stabilizing features, working on multiple generations simultaneously while maintaining backward compatibility and user experience, and customer support. She also leads in design, implementation, and validation. She led important outside-the-box changes that dramatically improved the team execution and the quality of client services.
Prior to her management role, Rosner worked as a senior software developer and team leader for Intel Active Management Technology, or AMT, developing service applications for handling the security and manageability of Intel AMT features. Throughout her career at Intel, she received a dozen prestigious Intel division awards, which recognize the significant impact of high-performing individuals and teams, as well as awards for her various achievements.
Early on, Rosner worked as a developer in several startup companies in a variety of positions, technologies, and programming languages, as she tried to be at the forefront of high-tech.
Rosner grew up in an ultra-Orthodox society. At a time when most women from her community served as teachers or housewives, she was drawn to the field of computer programming. Beyond this, she longed to help the women in her community develop in their chosen field.
Rosner has dedicated almost three decades of her professional life to advocating for diversity in employment while focusing on women and the ultra-Orthodox. She worked tirelessly to promote the role of women in high-tech fields as well as other technological professions through various means and platforms: as a woman leader, a leader of employee resource groups, and as a teacher, lecturer, mentor, and panelist.
Rosner paved the way for the foray of hundreds of ultra-Orthodox women engineers into the high-tech scene and orchestrated the dramatic surge in Haredi engineering employment. She served as a role model for thousands of women and their families, leading a mindset revolution in the attitude of her community toward women working in technology.
Rosner received Woman of the Year recognition from the Women at Intel global employee resource group, which cited her strong commitment and significant achievements in the recruitment, integration, and advancement of diverse populations on the Jerusalem campus, honoring her service as a role model and mentor who created an inclusive work environment that brings out the best of each person in a respectful, comfortable atmosphere.
Rosner holds a B.S. in sciences with an emphasis on computer science from the Open University of Israel and a senior teacher degree from Beit Yaakov Seminary. She is married to Yisrael and has six children.
