2014 European Digital Woman of the Year

On 30 October 2014 in Rome,  DLI announced winners of the 2014 European Ada Awards.  Join us here in congratulating the 2014 European Digital Woman of the Year, and read here the Press Release from our partners and sponsors about this great event!

***Congratulations to the 2014 European Digital Woman of the Year™!***

esther  Esther Roure Vila, Cisco, from Spain

A lack of female role models is what drives Esther today to be a role model herself. It also drove her to petition the entertainment industry for better female role models in STEM.  Among many achievements, Esther has launched “WISE EMEA” – ‘Women in Science and Engineering’ a Cisco employee recourse group which includes 200 members across all countries in EMEA; and WIN, ‘Women in Networking,’ – a group of female technical support engineers that aims to attract, build and retain strong female technical support engineers, which includes more than 100 female engineers.

Congratulations again to Esther, and thank you to our amazing partners and sponsors for making the 2014 European Ada Awards possible!
