Berkeley World Business Analytics Awards 2021
Since 2017, the Fisher Center has been awarding the Woman of the Year, Project of the Year, and CIO of the Year annually. This year, the Berkeley World Business Analytics Awards are changing to adapt and evolve in the field. The awards are being presented by the Fisher Center for Business Analytics at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. The Berkeley World Business Analytics Awards celebrate relevant, ethical, and humane analytics work by recognizing women in applied business analytics, projects that impact social and environmental issues, and innovative work by young professionals. Diversity is important to us. We encourage nominations and applications from individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and across different identities of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and ability.
