And the Nominees for the Women 2.0 Awards Are…

300 women + men in tech. 12 awards. 1 Monumental Night.

By Shaherose Charania (Co-founder & CEO, Women 2.0)

I always say this and that’s because I honestly wake up and think it every single day: we are so lucky– more than lucky — enthusiastic, fulfilled and inspired — by the work we do every day. And now we’re even more jazzed.
