Deloitte consultants among Australia’s Top Women in ICT
Online ICT industry publication ARN has announced the finalists for its 2022 Women in ICT Awards, with four consultants from Deloitte featuring among the more than 200 hopefuls.
Professional services firm Deloitte has had four of its consultants nominated across categories for the Women in ICT Awards (WIICTA), along with receiving a company nomination for diversity & inclusion.
Hosted by industry publication ARN, the awards celebrate the “achievements of talented female front-runners who have become influential figures across the local ICT industry.” Winners will be announced toward the end of May.
“This is a stunning display of emerging and established female talent in Australia,” said Cherry Yumul, Vice President of Channel at ARN publisher Foundry. “Once again the bar has been raised by countless examples of inspirational women leading the way in technology. To have a record-breaking number of finalists means that we can once again provide a platform to connect as many inspiring females as possible in our inclusive and expansive community.”
