Now in its sixth year, the TechWomen100 awards focus solely on females working in tech below the director level.
This year’s shortlist includes Marie Hemingway, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Speak Out Revolution, a not-for-profit with a mission to cancel the culture of silence on harassment in the workplace; Priyanka Gangishetty, Senior Azure Customer Engineer at Microsoft and ambassador for women in STEM, aiming to show young girls from all backgrounds that you can achieve your dreams; and Dr Chun Huang, Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London and an award-winning innovator, working to reduce human impact on climate change.
The awards also recognise senior individuals championing women; organisations working to recruit and retain female tech talent; and voluntary organisations and networks operating across the UK.
Speaking about the awards, Vanessa Vallely OBE, Managing Director, WeAreTechWomen said,“At WeAreTechWomen, we have made it our personal mission to shine a spotlight on women working in tech.”
“Our strategic aim is to highlight 1,000 female future leaders in technology by 2025.”
“The response to this year’s awards has been fantastic and the calibre of entries has been outstanding.”
