She has served and sat on the boards and councils of other supplier diversity organizations like WBENC and the Back in 2013, Reshma Moorthy, Jayshree's daughter and President of Frontier Technologies, also received the same award. As a family-owned business, the mother-daughter pair have formed quite the dynamic duo, leading their company to explosive growth in the last few years.
