Emma Wright, partner and head of our technology, data and digital group, has been included in the top 20 Most Influential Women in UK Tech 2024. Emma is the only practising lawyer to be included in the top 50.

Emma was commended for her work with the OECD, WEF and the ITU on the regulation of AI, as well as her work with the Ditchley Foundation to consider whether the collaborative approach used for telecoms can also work for AI regulation.

The list, compiled by Computer Weekly, showcases the most influential and successful women in the technology industry, shining a light on the sector’s role models who look to inspire the next generation of women in tech with the aim of creating a more diverse and inclusive sector.

The top 50 shortlist was whittled down by a panel of expert judges from a longlist of more than 700 nominated women. You can find the full list here.

Emma also gave a keynote speech at this week’s Diversity in Tech conference hosted by Harvey Nash and Computer Weekly.
