Flexiroam Africa is thrilled to announce yet another two award nominations for CEO and founder, Jacqueline Aylett. She has been selected as a finalist in two categories of the prestigious Standard Bank Top Woman Award; Top Woman in ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and Top Woman Entrepreneur.
These nominations are straight on the back of having recently also been nominated for two Stevie Awards in the categories ‘Female Entrepreneur of the Year in Europe, the Middle East & Africa’ and ‘Most Innovative Woman of the Year – Technology’ of which winners will be announced in early October. Earlier this year, Jackie was also nominated for a 2020 Women Entrepreneurs in Africa Award presented by AWIEF (African Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum) and winners for this award will be announced towards the end of the year.
“We believe that now more than ever, it is crucial to recognise the companies and individuals such as Jacqueline Aylett who are making impactful change for gender empowerment in South Africa,” explains Topco Media, Head of Marketing, Karla Fletcher.
The Standard Bank Top Women Awards honours those whose unfailing vision and innovative leadership have positively impacted women in South Africa. In response to the unprecedented global pandemic, the awards have moved to become completely virtual. “The pivot to a virtual format means that we have the opportunity to increase our footprint across the country like never before. We aim to reach 10,000 businesswomen and entrepreneurs during the virtual conference and awards,” Fletcher adds.
The virtual event will salute those accelerating transformation and creating awareness around women empowerment while also facilitating discussions and workshops around furthering gender empowerment in the country.
