Emma Wright, partner and head of our Technology, Data & Digital team, last night received the Outstanding Leader of the Year Award at the Digital Revolution Awards. This award looks to recognise an individual who has demonstrated exceptional guidance, direction, integrity, decision-making and inspirational leadership which has had a major impact on the success of their organisation; whether that be by accelerating growth, implementing innovative practices or empowering others.

The Digital Revolution Awards is a global cloud IT awards and fundraiser that recognises and celebrates the very best individuals and businesses working in the cloud tech ecosystem. The awards recognise a wide range of achievements, from exceptional digital transformation efforts and exemplary leadership to supporting vital cloud tech upskilling and dedication to diversity and inclusion. The winners were announced at last night’s ceremony which was held at Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane.

Emma’s inspiring work has been receiving widespread recognition. This latest win is in addition to several other awards collected by Emma this year, including Law Firm Leader of the Year at the Women & Diversity in Law Awards, a double award win at the Forward Ladies Leadership Summit and Awards, the Global Goals Impact Award at the CogX Awards and her continued listing in Computer Weekly’s Top 20 Most Influential Women in UK Tech.

Emma is currently leading and driving investHER, a not-for-profit focused on providing a voice to underrepresented groups in the tech and finance ecosystems in the UK, which earlier this year successfully campaigned for the Treasury to reverse its controversial investment restrictions on angel investors that had a disproportionate effect on women and other underrepresented groups eligible to invest.
