Congratulations to the winners of the Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2020
The world has needed these people and projects more than ever this year
Technology makes the world go round - or at least, this year, has kept it spinning. But the best systems in the world are pointless without the staff to operate them.
Computing's Digital Technology Leaders Awards exist to recognise the achievements of the individuals and companies who are really making it happen at the coal face of the digital technology stack: from website design and coding to UX and project management, from scrum masters and product managers, all the way up to the CDO. With this year's massive changes to how we live and work, their dedication has been more important than ever.
Every finalist this year has been key in enabling and driving those changes. Every entry showed firms going above and beyond the call of duty to help their customers, with the result that our judges had an incredibly hard time in choosing the winners.
So without further ado, here are the winners of the Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2020. You can watch the virtual ceremony and listen to the judges' comments here, or scroll down for a simple list of winners.
