Women of Impact Honorees
2025

We are thrilled to celebrate the remarkable women surpassing expectations, actively advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and championing gender equity in the technical field, all while paving the way for the next generation of women to excel.

Women Impact Tech has identified the most remarkable women who have left a substantial mark on either an individual or the entire technical landscape, clearing the path for fellow women in the industry.

These are the women we should keep an eye on in the coming year, as they serve as prime examples of how women can excel in an industry historically dominated by men.

Our distinguished panel of judges comprised of seasoned professionals from various sectors within the technical field, offering a wide range of expertise and experiences. Each judge meticulously assessed the professional accomplishments and leadership qualities of the nominees. They were invited to evaluate the entries using our comprehensive criteria through an online judging system.
