ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cloud Girls, a not-for-profit community of female thought leaders in cloud and next-gen technology, announced today that nominations are open for the seventh annual Cloud Girls Rising: Women to Watch Awards. Nominations are being accepted now through January 31, 2022 at https://cloudgirls.org/2022-cloud-girls-awards.
The Cloud Girls Rising Awards will be given to women who have demonstrated innovation, thought leadership and proactive solution development in the cloud and next gen technology space in 2021. Awards will be given in three categories:
- Rising Star: A female up-and-comer in the cloud community who has shown initiative in advancing cloud and next-generation technology solutions for her organization, customers and the industry.
- Trailblazer: A seasoned female technology veteran who is paving the way for her organization, customers and industry in advancing cloud and next-generation technology solutions. They are recognized as role models and mentors to colleagues and others at work and the partner community.
- Visionary: A female leader who has demonstrated innovation in recognizing where the cloud and next-gen tech market is headed and is leading the ecosystem toward that vision. A Visionary is a ground breaker, willing to take risks with strategic insight into what's possible.
"The Cloud Girls Rising award was created to recognize influencers and inspire more thought leadership and momentum by women involved in the cloud and next-gen technology," said Jo Peterson, founder of Cloud Girls and vice president of cloud services at Clarify360. "We're highlighting stand-out performers who make an impact in the ecosystem while encouraging more women to rise to the occasion and make a difference. With last year's addition of the visionary category, this award has evolved to recognize and celebrate women at all stages of their career."
The awards program is open to women working across the spectrum of products, tools and technologies that make up the cloud ecosystem.
Women eligible for these awards are employed in sales, marketing or engineering roles in the channel partner ecosystem — examples include an agent, VAR, MSP or services provider.
