Person of the Year award for MD of County Roscommon company
Brian Chamberlain, IP Telecom presents Carmel Owens, MD GlobalLogic Ireland, with the Person of the Year award at the 2024 Tech Excellence Awards.
The Managing Director of a County Roscommon-based company was named Person of the Year at the Tech Excellence Awards 2024.
The MD of Monksland based GlobalLogic Ireland, Carmel Owens, received the award during a black-tie gala ceremony at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.
The prestigious awards programme highlights the contributions and achievements of individuals and organisations in the Irish technology sector.
Carmel was recognised for her commitment to the growth and success of the business – initially as Sidero and now GlobalLogic Ireland – since she joined in 2020.
Carmel built the Monksland-based business to become a leader in software, cloud, and digital transformation. As a result of her leadership, GlobalLogic last year acquired Sidero, with the company announcing the merger completion in 2024. Sidero is now operating as GlobalLogic Ireland.
Carmel was also commended for her unwavering focus on employee empowerment and diversity and inclusion right across the organisation. She is dedicated to addressing the gender imbalance in the technology sector and narrowing the skills gap in the industry.
“I am delighted to be named Person of the Year after what’s been a busy and exhilarating year at GlobalLogic,” said Carmel. “It’s an exciting time in the growth of the company; the recent acquisition expands GlobalLogic’s European footprint and positions the company as a leader in Ireland’s tech market. I look forward to further success as we continue on our upward trajectory.”
