WIT Awards Overview
As mentioned before, 2021 is our fifth year of celebrating Women In Technology. This means that Aragon Research began recognizing leading women technology professionals in 2017! This award reflects the achievements of women who have demonstrated outstanding personal and professional growth and significantly contributed to the technology industry.
For 2021, one WIT winner will be selected for each of the following categories:
- Analyst Relations
- CEO
- CIO and/or CISO
- COO/Operations (c level title not required)
- Chief People Officer/HR Leader
- Legal
- Marketing
- Public Relations
- Sales
*And, if you aren’t sure your nominee fits into one of these categories, feel free to nominate anyway and select the category that best fits!
Once our nominations close on March 31st, our WIT committee (made up of the Aragon Research marketing team + past WIT award winners) will gather to review our wonderful nominations and go through a voting process.
Benefits for Aragon WIT Award Winners
There are some great benefits for an Aragon Research WIT award winner!
