About Women in Telecoms & Technology
Women in Telecoms & Technology (WiTT) is an informal networking group focused on education and enhancing women’s careers by sharing experiences and lessons learned in members’ career development. The Group meets every other month and members include business women at all stages in their careers in organisations including BT, Vodafone, Everything Everywhere, IBM, Intelsat, Ofcom, Reuters, Sprint, Warner Home Video, lawyers, consultants, accountants and entrepreneurs.
WiTT was founded in November 2001 by a group of women executives all working in the communications and technology industries in the UK. These women realised that often they were the only woman in their organisation at a senior level and they set up WiTT to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to share experiences.
