Resolution Digital was a proud category sponsor of 2022 B&T Women Leading Tech Awards design category, which celebrated gender diversity in the technology industry.
Resolution Digital Director of Creative Technology Olia McDonald presented IBM Associate Partner Helen Whitehead with her award. Whitehead's standout entry showcased her remarkable leadership of IBM’s design team across Australia and New Zealand. She has also set up a design studio in Perth, and supported emerging technology creatives and Indigenous students through IBM's education programs.
According to the European Commission's Women in Digital Scoreboard from 2020 only 18 percent are women, and women are still paid less for the same work as their male counterparts. The B&T Women Leading Tech Awards was created to support gender parity and representation across the tech industry and is inclusive of gender diverse members of the tech industry, as well as any individual identifying as a woman.
We know that women are incredible leaders, innovators and creatives, and at Resolution Digital we embrace a diverse and inclusive culture.
