Rising Star of the Year, Data, Risk & Analytics —
Anat Hoida
This award
recognises a woman who has worked for less than five years in the
industry, but who has made a significant impact in her
organisation. Anat Hoida has helped
telecommunications operators throughout the region to increase
their use of AI and advanced analytics to build profitable credit
services, while managing risk and meeting strict government
regulations.
Team Leader of the Year, Data, Risk & Analytics —
Louise Lunn
This award
recognises women who have led a change in their company that has
significantly bettered how the business previously operated.
Louise Lunn re-organised and
empowered the EMEA Analytics team, giving it a new focus and
creating a proactive can-do team mentality. This
transformation was aligned to customers' needs and their future

exceeded all KPIs – bookings, revenue and margin — while bringing
new analytic technologies into practice at businesses throughout
the region.
Transformation of the Year — Nicola Pickering
