“We could not be more proud to be the Women of the Year Awards Title Sponsor for the second year in a row. At Cisco, we live our purpose to Power an Inclusive Future for All—and that includes the incredible technical talent we have right here in the city of Atlanta,” says Kanyatta Walker, Vice President at Cisco IT and WIT Board Member. “Last year, we opened the doors of a new, state-of-the-art Cisco technology research and development hub in the heart of Atlanta, and are fully committed to our continued journey in diversifying our workforce, building a more inclusive talent pipeline, and offering family-sustaining wages to support women wanting to pursue careers in S.T.E.A.M.”
“The unwavering dedication of the Cisco organization to forging future opportunities for women across the entire spectrum of S.T.E.A.M is nothing short of inspiring. We are thrilled to have them return as our Title Sponsor for the 2023 Women of the Year Awards Gala,” remarked Penny Collins, President and CEO of WIT.
For the second consecutive year, Women In Technology is privileged to welcome Innova Solutions, a global digital transformation solutions provider, as the Presenting Sponsor of the Awards Gala.
“Empowering the Innovators of tomorrow is not just an aspiration, but rather a commitment that Innova Solutions is honored to share with Women in Technology. Through the Innova Foundation, we have directed a significant investment towards providing scholarships and technology to girls and women pursuing higher education,” said Raj Sardana, CEO of Innova Solutions. “As a proud Presenting Sponsor of this year’s WIT Awards and a long-standing partner of the organization, we are dedicated to paving a brighter path forward for women in S.T.E.A.M, ‘from the classroom to the boardroom.”
“Innova Solutions is making a tangible impact on the journey of girls and women in S.T.E.A.M, and we are privileged to join hands with them as our Presenting Sponsor for the 23rd Annual WIT Awards Gala,” affirmed Collins.
