Company’s Commitment to Diversity Sets New standards for Next-Generation Cybersecurity Teams
WESTMINSTER, CO – November 17, 2020 – Coalfire, a provider of cybersecurity advisory and assessment services, has been named a Grand Winner in the SVUS Women World Awards thanks to the impressive achievements of six accomplished women: Divya Jeyachandran, Bhavna Sondhi, Cassie Katt, Anjna Mehta-Singh, Mandy Pote, and Jennifer Velnoskey.
These women were recognized individually through the Women World Awards, and their collective contributions earned Coalfire this coveted win and recognition for its outstanding diversity programs, which will be celebrated at the 13th Annual Women in Business and the Professions World Awards® virtual ceremony on Dec. 10th.
“This recognition confirms that Coalfire’s culture of inclusion is achieving our goals, and reflects the success of our RISE women’s program that aims to Recruit, Influence, Support, and Educate women in cybersecurity,” said Leslie Jones, Chief Human Resources Officer. “With today’s changing nature of cyber risk and security priorities, it’s critical to instill expertise and diversity into our assessment and advisory teams.”
The Women World Grand Winner Award represents a continuing trend of recognition for Coalfire. Earlier this year, Chief Human Resources Officer Leslie Jones was named to The Software Report’s Top 25 Women Leaders in Cybersecurity, Anne Bayerkohler, Director of Quality and Compliance, was honored by Consulting Magazine’s Women Leaders in Technology Awards for excellence in leadership, and Cyber Defense Magazine named Mandy Pote and Mali Yared to their Top 100 Women in Cybersecurity 2020 list.
