 Channel Asia congratulates Cisco on having 14 finalists named, with strong representation in every award category,” said Cherry Yumul, vice president of Strategic Partnerships and Innovation at IDG. “We applaud your standout contribution in helping to set an industry benchmark for female achievement across Southeast Asia.

 

“This year’s WIICTA has generated a volume and calibre of nominees that have set new standards in the award’s history. This is an encouraging sign of a positive trend that gender diversity is high on the corporate agenda of more and more businesses in ASEAN.

 

“This is not just to tick a box or meet a quota, but evidently, to bring in alternative viewpoints for problem-solving and different leadership styles for competitive advantage, in turn delivering better returns.”

 

Reflective of a diverse technology network – and a thriving channel community – over 25 partner companies are in the spotlight, in addition to more than 30 vendors and four distributors.

 

Within this standout group of finalists, female leaders are located across the entire region, spanning Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

 

All career stages are in the spotlight from graduate-level entrants to well-established CEOs, in addition to inspiring entrepreneurs, creative thinkers and technical experts, as well as talent rising through the ranks and consistently high-performing individuals. This is also supported by both individual and company champions of D&I initiatives.

 

Collectively, WIICTA in 2021 stands tall as the leading forum for setting the industry benchmark for female achievement across Southeast Asia.

 

Shaped by the feedback of more than 50 leading female technology executives, WIICTA – now in its 10th year of running – will honour the channel across eight categories, spanning Innovation, Technical, Entrepreneur, Graduate, Rising Star, Shining Star, Achievement and D&I Champion (Company and Individual) awards.

 

The winners will now be selected by an executive panel of more than 45 industry judges – acknowledging creativity, innovation and excellence – before being announced at a virtual celebration event on Thursday, 5 August.
