WeAreTechWomen has revealed the winners of this year’s TechWomen100 Awards.
Now in their fifth year, the TechWomen100 Awards focus on the achievements of up-and-coming women currently working in tech below senior management level. The TechWomen100 Awards recognise the impact of individuals, companies and networks that are leading the way for future generations of tech talent. By shining a light on the female tech talent pipeline, the Awards seek to encourage and support the next generation of female tech role models and leaders.
They form a key part of the WeAreTechWomen’s campaign to find and support 1,000 future female leaders in technology by 2025. So far, since 2015, the TechWomen100 awards have highlighted the achievements of 450 women.
This year’s Awards attracted over 1,000 entries from which a diverse panel of 20 independent industry judges identified a shortlist of 200. The public was then asked to show its support by voting for these incredible women. A second round of judging by the panel resulted in 100 winners being chosen alongside the overall winner of the public vote.
TECH INCLUSION
Gemma Willman, Head of Workforce Enablement, Natwest Group scooped the Champion of the Year award. Willman was chosen for her passion in driving the gender agenda for women in technology both internally and externally.
Finastra was named Company of the Year for its initiatives to elevate women in technology alongside its inclusive internal policies which help women to feel supported, both in life and their careers. Barclays Women in Technology (WIT) was honoured with Network of the Year award. Barclays was chosen for its incredible internal initiatives to support their women in tech.
The Global Achievement Award went to Amna Habiba, founder of BloomED. At just 16 years old, Habiba was chosen for her outstanding efforts to teach 1000s of girls in Pakistan how to code.
OUSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS
The Editor’s Choice Award was won by Flavilla Fongang, Founder of 3 Colours Rule. Fongang was selected for her outstanding contribution towards building a pipeline of women in tech while simultaneously raising the profiles of black women in the tech industry.
Russ Shaw CBE, Founder of Tech London Advocates & Global Tech Advocates scooped the Lifetime Achievement Award. Shaw was recognised for his outstanding support for women in tech. Finally, the Public Vote Winner went to Wipro’s Ekta Soni. Her outstanding work attracted just over 5,000 global votes.
“I would like to extend huge congratulations to this year’s winners of the TechWomen100 Awards,” says Vanessa Vallely OBE, Managing Director of WeAreTechWomen. “Women represent only 17% of the tech industry and that figure has remained stagnant for the past eight years. By highlighting these incredible women and their achievements, we hope to create much-needed role models for the future. Women who will pay it forward, create communities, support each other and use their platforms to encourage more women and girls into the industry. My hope is that their employers continue to support their careers by opening doors of opportunity enabling them to shine.”
