EMPOWERING WOMEN ON THE RISE IN TECH 
"This program is part of Built In's steadfast commitment to empowering women in tech — and in this case, we're honoring women on the rise," says Maria Christopoulos Katris, Co-Founder and CEO, Built In. "The 2021 Moxie Awards shine a bright light on women whose track records of excellence indicate they're likely to advance to incredible heights in their careers." 

The winning nominees work in the industry across a range of tech and tech-adjacent disciplines, including but not limited to engineering, customer success, marketing, product and design. What they share in common is "moxie," a quality Built In defines as a combination of courage, determination, energy and know-how. 

ESTEEMED JUDGES' PANEL OF WOMEN LEADERS 
"To the winners, congratulations!" says Katris. "I can't wait to see where these outstanding professionals take their careers. And thank you to the women who served as judges. After seeing the impressive nominations, I didn't envy their work in having to select winners. But I know our judges joined this endeavor because of their conviction that the time to uplift women in tech is now. For this I feel a sense of shared purpose and gratitude." 

The judges' panel included 15 women leaders whose areas of expertise range far and wide, including technology, DEI, product, marketing, customer success, women's professional advancement and LatinX advocacy, to name just a few. 

Learn about the 2021 Moxie judges here. 

"I was so honored to serve as a judge for the Moxie Awards," says Kellie Wagner, CEO, Collective — A DEI Lab. "Even as we make strides around the representation of women in tech, barriers to promotion and challenges to having a true voice remain, a reality that's even truer for women of color. While some individual companies are recognizing women's contributions adequately, the industry overall has work to do. That's why this program spoke to me. The Moxie Awards Program is filling in a substantial gap and honoring women in tech when there's too little recognition overall."

The 2021 Moxie Awards Program to honor women, in this inaugural year, received more than 400 nominations from across the US.

ABOUT THE 2021 MOXIE AWARDS
Built In's 2021 Moxie Awards Program celebrates women in tech whose leadership qualities, expertise and passion for their disciplines indicate that they're likely to advance to the pinnacles of their careers. A judges' panel of celebrated women leaders in the tech industry selected 50 winners, using scorecards with identifying information removed. To be eligible, nominees must have met requirements: They must identify as women, whether through gender identity, gender expression or sex; serve in roles such as director, individual contributor, manager or VP but not on executive or C-Suite teams; and work in traditional tech roles (engineering) or in tech-adjacent roles, which include any discipline that supports a company's technology.
