45 Most Influential Women In Tech 2024 Launches

CIO Africa Magazine is thrilled to announce once again our annual Most Influential Women In Digital Transformation, Africa, 2024! The 45 Most Influential Women in the tech space has become a CIO Africa Magazine brand in its fifth year, and we need YOUR nominations!

The 45 Most Influential Women edition recognises, highlights and showcases women doing extraordinary things with emerging technologies. Each year, for the past four years, CIO Africa Magazine has dug deep to spotlight the remarkable women driving digital transformation across Africa. These women, some of whom are well known to us, while others toil away behind the scenes, are part of the continent’s digital revolution.

A survey by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) says there are only about 20 per cent – 30 per cent of women in the ICT workforce in Africa. That makes the gems we find that much more exciting. Aside from that, the entire issue is dedicated to the amazing women who have accomplished much.

Here is the woman we seek:

• A leader who directly contributes to the growth and strategic direction of their organisation.
• A woman with a strong digital footprint who uses her platform(s) to connect and engage with the African tech community.
• A woman who had continually driven innovation; the kind that inspires the wider tech community in the continent.
• A role model who inspires a new generation of African women in technology.
• A woman who has contributed to the general development of the ICT sector in Africa.
• A woman who has had doors opened for her over the past year thanks to her contribution to the tech community and industry from October 2023 to October 2024.

The nominations are now open and will close on 16 October 2024.

Send your nominations to editorial@cioafrica.co by sharing either your or your nominee’s details (full name and job title), their achievements, impact, and why they deserve recognition and where possible, attach any supporting documents or links.
