ABOUT THIS AWARD

The award will be presented to an outstanding individual at the outset of their career in the enterprise technology ecosystem. Successful nominees will be able to show clear evidence of both high performance and high potential and a strong desire to forge a purposeful career in the technology sector.

WHAT ARE THE JUDGES LOOKING FOR?

Our judges will be looking for nominations that demonstrate desire, commitment and ambition from individuals who are working towards a long-term career in the technology sector. We are particularly interested in any extra-curricular activities that the individual may be involved in that have a sustainability, environmental or D&I impact. All award categories are judged on their merits and it doesn’t matter whether they work for one of the world’s largest organisations or a small boutique consultancy.
