Ceremony
IHS Markit is delighted to announce that Jennifer
Theiss, VP, Global Head of Financial Services Solutions Sales,
and Saori Fotenos, Executive Director, Product Management for our
EDM solution, were recognized at the 2021
WatersTechnology Women in Technology & Data Awards,
presented on March 5.
The annual awards recognize, promote and celebrate the
outstanding work and achievements of women in technology and data
roles across the capital markets, a sector where
women remain underrepresented.
Jennifer Theiss took home the award for Vendor Professional of
the Year, which recognizes women from the third-party technology
vendor community who have shown innovation and outstanding service
to their firm's capital markets clients.
Theiss is responsible for a global sales team of 75 and hundreds
of millions of revenue across multiple customer segments and
business lines. She recently led the restructuring of the Solutions
sales team; an effort that supports a more effective and
customer-centric go-to-market strategy. Theiss also participates in
a mentoring program and is a leader on both the Diversity and
Inclusion initiatives and the Graduate and Intern program, where
she hosts sessions on female empowerment, personal branding and
career.
Saori Fotenos won the EDM Professional of the Year (newcomer)
award, which is presented to women who work with and address data
management issues across their organization and deliver value and
change across the business.
Fotenos is part of the global product management leadership
group for our Enterprise Data Management solution and leads the
North American product team. Since joining the company last year,
she has made an impact by automating a range of internal processes,
so that product releases now run on a six-week cycle. She has also
led the development of IHS Markit's Data Dictionary and is the
accessibility lead for EDM, spearheading efforts to help IHS Markit
clients support global web accessibility guidelines.
"At IHS Markit, we believe that diversity and inclusion are the
foundations that shape and define our business," said Andrew Eisen,
Head of Financial Services Solutions. "Saori and Jennifer have made
a tremendous impact, both to our business operations and within
several key internal initiatives. We have long recognized the value
they bring to our organization and are thrilled to see them honored
alongside many outstanding women in the data and technology
industry."
