IWF’s tech officer Harriet Lester has been named in the TechWomen50 2017 awards list.
The award honours women in the tech industry and recognises the impact of female champions and IT leaders.
The awards, being the first of their kind, were entered by 500 individuals and judged by a panel of 20 independent judges.
“I’m thrilled to have been honoured with this award”, says Harriet. “As a young woman in tech I know how important it is to promote successful females and help them be part of the next generation of females in IT. Huge thanks to WeAreTechWomen for providing this platform.”
Local MP Ian Sollom learned about the herculean task faced by analysts at the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) who find, assess and remove child sexual abuse material on the internet.
