NEWPORT, R.I. — Maria Diaz-Masterson, head, Submarine and Surveillance Systems Division in the Naval Undersea Warfare Center’s Sensors and Sonar Department, was selected for the Providence Business News (PBN) 2020 Business Women Award in the Technical Services Industry Leader category.
The PBN Business Women Award program honors the success of women in a variety of industries and recognizes professional women to watch as well as industry leaders. This is the fifth time in seven years a Division Newport employee has won a PBN Business Women Award.
Diaz-Masterson leads more 100 people within her organization in information assurance and cybersecurity for our tactical systems and laboratory-based analysis systems. She also addresses virtual machine technology to reduce the footprint and cost of our tactical systems while offering the potential for greater reliability. She has achieved success as a team leader, a line manager, engineer and mentor.
Diaz-Masterson is a leader and mentor in the Educational Partnership Agreement between Division Newport and the University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez. As a strong proponent of workforce development, she actively seeks opportunities for engineers to shadow test directors while underway on submarines. The technical expertise and enthusiasm she brings to her job greatly benefit the department, Division Newport and the U.S. Navy.
Diaz-Masterson and other winners from around the region will be recognized during a virtual ceremony on Wednesday, June 17.
