HCMWorks, North America’s leading provider of Contingent
Workforce Solutions, announced today that its company’s President
and CEO Julia Fournier is the official recipient of the 2015 EY
Sara Kirke Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The

Enterprising Women of the Year, an annual tribute to top women
entrepreneurs from North America and around the globe.
The Sara Kirke Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation,
sponsored by Ernst & Young, is presented to the woman who has
shown outstanding entrepreneurship, as well as technological
innovation or leadership—leadership that has significantly expanded
the frontiers of Canada's advanced technology industry. The purpose
of the Award is to celebrate entrepreneurship and create positive
role models for women in Canada's technology sector. The Sara Kirke
Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is presented annually to
the woman who has demonstrated consistent innovation and leadership
skills, resulting in the creation and international acceptance of
significant world-class products and/or services. The award was
presented to Ms. Fournier at the 30th annual CATAAlliance
Innovation and Leadership Awards gala dinner at Carleton University
on May 21, 2015.
This is such a great honor,” commented Julia Fournier, President
and CEO of HCMWorks. “Receiving such an award reinforces the true
meaning behind the Sara Kirke message—women's participation and
advancement in the technology sector. Furthermore, this honor
extends far beyond myself—it is a testament to all women
representing a legacy of dedication, a tremendous work ethic, and
the incredible teams that support them. I truly thank all those who
came before me who have paved the way for women in technology—and
for those who follow to take this to an ever-increasing level of
success.”
Ms. Fournier has 25+ years of experience in the global staffing,
contingent workforce solutions, vendor management technology, and
consulting industries, having provided services to many of the
world’s Fortune 1000 companies.
HCMWorks, which specializes in helping organizations manage
indirect procurement and payroll costs, has rapidly become the
industry's dominant leader in procurement services with more than
$1.5 billion in managed accounts. The growth of HCMWorks is a
direct result of Ms. Fournier’s leadership and entrepreneurial
spirit.
