On Thurs. May 20, 2021, Consulting magazine hosted the second annual Women Leaders in Technology awards acknowledging those contributions made by women in the consulting profession. Recognizing women in the industry has been a long-standing tradition at Consulting magazine, marked by the launch of the Women Leaders in Consulting awards in 2007.
Women play a substantial role in the consulting world, especially with the increased number of engagements falling under the category of technology. In sectors ranging from digital disruption or transformation, IoT, cloud, cybersecurity, or broad-based IT and implantation work, tech-focused advisory work is in extremely high demand.
It is important to acknowledge the fact that the overwhelming majority of these advisory roles are filled by men— especially in the ranks of leadership. In an industry that is three-quarters male, women leaders are often overlooked. With that in mind, we raise these women up as examples and recognize the accomplishments and success of Consulting's Leading Women in Technology 2021. The honorees are selected in three distinct categories: Excellence in Client Services, Excellence in Innovation, and Excellence in Leadership.
