Celebrating Leaders in Technology

14th October 2025

Birna Íris Jónsdóttir, CEO of Digital Iceland, was shortlisted for this year’s Nordic Women in Tech Awards and attended the awards ceremony in Helsinki last Friday.

The Nordic Women in Tech Awards aim to celebrate and increase the visibility of women’s contributions in the tech sector and of leaders in the field. Birna Íris was nominated in the category Digital Transformation Leader of the Year, which focuses on people who lead digital transformation initiatives and innovation that deliver societal benefit.

“It’s an honor to be listed with such impressive entrepreneurs and outstanding women in technology across the Nordic countries. We celebrate the fact that women are advancing in a field that has historically been considered male-dominated. Everyone now knows that diverse teams solve complex problems faster and better than homogeneous ones. I view this nomination as an important recognition of our achievements at Digital Iceland in transforming public services in Iceland,” says Birna Íris.

This year’s winner was Edmary Altamiranda Maldonado, who works at Aker BP in Norway and leads their projects in digital transformation for industrial and energy systems.
