Ottawa’s female business leaders took home a haul of hardware at the Women in Finance and Women in IT awards held this week in Toronto.
Lana Legostaeva walked away with the award for the best female-led finance team Wednesday evening for her work at Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards. The Women in Finance series specifically highlighted her team’s work integrating the financial structures of both organizations while simultaneously scaling up operations as worthy of recognition.
On the technical side, Iversoft co-founder Vicki Iverson was named CTO of the Year on Thursday night. Iverson was recognized for the technological transformation within the company as it pivoted from an app developer to a full digital consultancy, as well as her initiatives to help tech talent develop their skills on company time.
