We were proud to sponsor the autumn session of the initiative 'Empowering Women to Lead Digital Transformation in Scotland'. Delivered by Empowering-You and in association with the Scottish Digital Academy, The Scottish Government and ScotlandIS, the initiative offered a great opportunity to be involved in developing the skills and experience of future leaders across Scotland. The exceptional women who formed the autumn cohort graduated last week and we can't wait to see what they go on to achieve next!
