This article overstates Toni's role. Though she does own a good portion of the Alexa ecosystem, there were/are several other directors/VPs that ran/run different portions of the system.

I am not saying that Toni's contributions are negligible, rather that her and her team are part of a bigger organization that built and improves Alexa.

Yeah the intent of the article is obvious based on the title.

I clicked through hoping to see a piece on the female engineers who work on Alexa, but it was an executive profile. You are right that executive profiles generally overstate the contributions of their subject.
