Alice Hendy MBE Tops Computer Weekly’s Women in UK Tech Rising Stars 2024

Each year, Computer Weekly selects a number of Rising Stars who are making waves in the women, diversity and inclusion in tech space.

For many young girls, seeing women just one or two steps ahead in their careers provides the relatable inspiration needed to map their own journey to success.

To support this, Computer Weekly launched the Rising Stars category in 2014, aiming to showcase emerging women leaders as relatable role models in the industry.

Each year, Computer Weekly asks its judges to highlight Rising Stars - exceptional individuals who could one day earn a place among its Women in UK Tech Top 50 and who represent the future of the tech sector.
