Anna Murray

Anna P. Murray is the author of the critically acclaimed “The Complete Software Project Manager” (Wiley, 2016). According to one reviewer, “She’s organized the process into a textbook that almost reads like a novel. No, really! Murray even brings a sense of humor to the subject…. This book should be required reading for any executive or project team leader that is considering the development of a software application.”

One of an extraordinarily rare species—a woman who owns a successful software-development company— she is also a gifted speaker.

One of her attendees said, “We all came early to the evening session because we didn’t even want to miss the housekeeping information. You made everything entertaining and funny.”

According to Anna, “My typical project involves 11 vendors in 5 time zones.”

A 20-year veteran of the software industry, Anna oversees software projects valued at millions and tens of millions of dollars. Area of expertise include communication, project management, integrations, architecture, business and technical requirements, risk management, cyber security, platform choice, cost controls, technical staffing, budgeting, and managing projects that have gone awry.

Her clients have included The Kellogg Corporation, Harvard Business Publishing, Time Out New York, Slate Group, The American Association of Advertising Agencies, International Creative Management, Consumer Reports, and The National Institutes of Health.

Anna is a double winner of the Stevie Award for Women in Business, a recipient of a Mobile Marketing Association award for mobile app development, several Kellogg top agency awards, and most recently Folio's Top Women in Media Award.
