Welcome to the inaugural Women Leading Tech Power List Long List. Among these 651 names, you will find the brightest minds in the tech sector.
We’ve got CEOs, CTOs, engineering managers and marketing managers. There are founders and financiers and even administrators and digital artists.
The Women in Media Power List has become a staple of B&T’s year, crowning the leaders and inspirational women driving positive change in the media sector. With the Women Leading Tech Awards, we’re not only looking to emulate its success but beat it. But, before that, we need to whittle this Long List down to just 20 names.
As with all our Power Lists (don’t forget to check out our most recent: the B&T CMO Power List), places are earned by reputation and deed, they are not applied for or entered. B&T’s Power Lists represent the pinnacle of achievement in their respective fields.
So, if we’ve missed anyone (and we’re absolutely, positively, sure we have!) — let us know in the comments below and we’ll have them on the list in a jiffy! Control+F is your best friend, here.
But you better be quick! This long list will only be taking suggestions until this Friday 13 March.
And, as ever, we’ve used publicly available information or information that you have previously told us to create this Long List. We’ve checked it ourselves but sometimes we miss one. So, if there’s an error, email [email protected].
We will be revealing the final 20 names on the Women Leading Tech Power List at the Women Leading Tech Awards night on 21 March at Sydney Town Hall. Plus, you’re still in time for Early Bird tickets (closing 13 March). Buy now to avoid missing out!
