Women still remain an underrepresented demographic in the technology industry but there is no shortage of women doing amazing work within the space. Take for example the fact that last year’s Moxie Award program was the first dedicated to celebrating women, all of which made outsized contributions to their workplaces, communities and industries through their skills and accomplishments.
In 2021 we received 400 nominations from peers. This year we received nearly 1,000.
It’s proof that not only are women making huge strides in generating success for themselves, their teams and businesses, but their efforts are being noticed. And we aim to broadcast those wins to the world.
We chose 100 winners. Each nomination was reviewed by a panel of tech leaders whose identifying information is redacted to reduce bias. Rather than filling the list with the growing number of impactful women VPs or CEOs of the world, we chose to represent women rising in their careers who are creating change from the ground floor of tech. The result is an impressive line-up of visionaries who have broken barriers to shape a bright future of technical excellence and inclusivity for women and other demographics in this industry.
Meet the Moxie Award winners of 2022: 100 women ushering in a new era of tech.
