The Judging Process

The three-stage shortlisting process ensures transparency, reduces bias, and prevents conflicts of interest.

“For those who put themselves forward and are successful, the return is significant. It offers meaningful friendships, a strong sense of recognition, influential connections, and the affirmation that the work they do every day truly matters”.

“If you're thinking about submitting a nomination, I think it can have a real impact on somebody's life. It really is a wonderful thing to do for another woman who inspires you. Putting the effort into saying why you think this person is changing the world a little bit is so encouraging, especially within the 100k plus community like Women in Data®”.

“Being recognised as a Twenty in Data & Tech didn’t just open doors - it gave me a respected voice across the industry”.

“The recognition opened doors to new partnerships and speaking opportunities, but more importantly, it shifted how I saw myself. I moved from feeling like an outlier pushing an unconventional idea to operating with confidence that measurable, impact-driven data work belongs at the centre of serious industry conversations”.
