Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, today announced that nominations are being accepted for the second annual ISG Women in Digital Awards program, recognizing exceptional leadership among women in digital roles.

The awards program, launched last year in the Americas, has been expanded for 2023 to the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific regions, including India.

“ISG is delighted to open nominations for the 2023 ISG Women in Digital Awards program,” said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO, ISG. “After a highly successful launch in the Americas in 2022, we have expanded the program to honor women digital leaders in EMEA and Asia Pacific, including India. Just as digital technology has enabled businesses in every region to grow and succeed, women in each of these geographies are making extraordinary contributions and advancing their careers. We look forward to recognizing them and celebrating their success.”

An independent panel of judges for each region, drawn from the enterprise, provider and advisory communities, will evaluate nominations and select winners in each region. Regional winners will be named in five categories:

• Rising Star: for demonstrating exceptional and continuous growth, with increasing levels of leadership, responsibility and sphere of impact;
• Digital Titan of the Year: recognizing the most outstanding “Woman in Digital” for 2023 in each region.

In 2022, leaders with AECOM, Hitachi Vantara, Liberty Mutual Insurance, L&T Infotech and Twitter were honored as winners of the inaugural awards.

For 2023, the judging panel for the Americas includes Chris Putur, executive vice president, Technology and Operations, REI Co-Op (retired) and member of the ISG Board of Directors; Sarah Urbanowicz, senior vice president and CIO of AECOM, and Nidhi Alexander, chief marketing officer, Hexaware.
