Empowering Stories of Recognition at Women in Tech Awards
What were your feelings upon winning the award, and what significance does this achievement hold for you?
Asha Keddy, Global Technology Leadership Award, Bronze Winner 2021
"Humbling and a tad surreal! I’ve won awards before but being honored by your peers is truly something else. I was also inspired by all the other women candidates! It gave me pause to look at the tireless efforts and volunteer work that went into this process, including the work of the jury. Drops of water make the ocean … Finally, I learned a lot more about the efforts of the WomenTech Network and I’m in awe of what the organization does. It made me want to double down on the efforts to pay it forward as we have a long way to go."

Alexandra Navarro, Chief in Tech Leader of the Year Award, Gold Winner 2023:
"This Chief in Tech Gold award is meaningful to me for so many reasons! When I was 25 years old, I moved from Colombia to the United States to start my life all over again. As I talked with the executives at large tech companies I realized that no one I was talking to looked like me. Instead of just being an advisor, a mentor, and a consultant to other Latinas aspiring to join the C suite, I needed to get there myself. For me, this recognition is not just about ‘Alexandra’—this proves what I’ve been saying to women all along—that no matter your background, you can achieve your dreams."
