November 17 2017 - 8:33AM
Manhattan Associates (NASDAQ:MANH) today announced that Connie
Taylor, vice president of Global Research and Development, has
received a 2017 Women of the Year Award from Women in Technology
(WIT). The award recognizes Taylor’s leadership role in launching
Manhattan Associates’ groundbreaking Manhattan Active™ Omni
solution, as well as her efforts to support the education and
advancement of women professionals.
The Women in Technology Awards honor female leaders of
Georgia-based science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) companies whose accomplishments have not only furthered
their organizations and industries, but have also made a difference
in their local communities.
Taylor has more than 25 years of experience in the software
development industry and has been with Manhattan Associates since
2011. In addition to her leadership role in product research and
development at the supply chain commerce solution provider, Taylor
is also a founder and sponsor of Manhattan Associates’ Women’s
Initiative Network (WIN), which began in 2014 to foster an
environment and culture that supports talented women at the
company.
Taylor is also a strong promoter of technology careers and
education in her community. She was an adjunct faculty member at
Georgia Perimeter College, where she taught Computer Science. She
is currently a board member and secretary of the BH Technology
Group, a nonprofit that provides technology training to seniors so
they can stay connected to their family and friends.
“Since I began my career in the technology industry, I’ve seen
the demand for tech-related jobs increase while women interested in
filling them has decreased,” said Taylor.” In order to shift this
trend and close the gender gap in STEM fields, I feel a personal
responsibility to encourage women to pursue tech careers and to
support them as they advance in their profession. This matters
because a more diverse industry can better serve a diverse world.
This cause has been a driving factor in my daily work and it makes
winning this award that much more meaningful.”
The WIT Women in Technology winners were announced on November
16, 2017, at a ceremony held in the Ballroom of the Georgia
Aquarium.
