IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Caylent, a leading cloud services company helping businesses build competitive IP, was recognized by the CRN Women of the Year Awards as the winner of the Gender Parity Award at CRN’s Awards Gala held on December 5, 2023 in New York City. Hosted by The Channel Company, these awards honor exceptional women, companies, and allies who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and innovation within the IT channel and tech industry.

“At Caylent, we are not content with merely achieving gender parity; we continuously strive to raise the bar and set new industry standards,” said Valerie Henderson, President and CRO, Caylent. “This recognition from CRN is truly a testament to a collective commitment to diversity and equity, which are deeply ingrained in Caylent’s DNA, guiding us towards a future where every ‘Caylien’ thrives, regardless of gender or background. We firmly believe that a diverse workforce ignites innovation and strengthens our connection with the customers and communities we serve.”

As the recipient of the Gender Parity Award, the CRN Women of the Year Awards celebrate Caylent’s remarkable commitment to driving positive change in the tech landscape through the company’s dedication to empowering gender parity and fostering an inclusive workspace. At the heart of Caylent’s DEI and gender parity initiatives is the Caylien Collective Board, established in 2022 to focus on four pivotal organizational pillars: community, empowerment, introspection, and investment. Since the board’s inception, representation of women employees at Caylent nearly doubled, in addition to half of Caylent’s leadership team being comprised of women. In 2023, Caylent introduced several initiatives to further advance gender parity within the organization:

• Caylent Navigators Program: An internal mentorship initiative that encourages collaboration among Cayliens to navigate career paths, set goals, and share technical knowledge.
• Encuentro of Caylien Women: Monthly virtual events where Caylien women gather to discuss and address the challenges they encounter in the industry. These discussions cover a range of topics, from self-advocacy to imposter syndrome, fostering a supportive environment where women can raise concerns and share experiences.
• Breaking Through the Cloud Podcast: A dedicated podcast celebrating and empowering women in the technology industry. Trailblazing women share their extraordinary experiences and advice, fostering a more inclusive tech landscape and empowering women to realize their full potential.

“We are proud to recognize the remarkable accomplishments of Caylent and all the winners of the CRN Women of the Year Awards,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “These outstanding individuals, companies, and allies are reshaping the IT channel, inspiring future leaders, and contributing to the growth and innovation of the industry. We salute their achievements and look forward to their continued impact.”

Criteria for the Gender Parity Award included a strong track record of nurturing talent among employees who are women as well as a demonstrated commitment to initiatives such as having a diverse workforce and a high percentage of women in leadership roles, along with efforts to support the professional development and growth of women throughout the organization.

The CRN Women of the Year Awards are a testament to the influence of women, companies, and allies in driving meaningful change in the tech sector. The awards recognize not only individual achievements but also the collective efforts of organizations dedicated to advancing diversity and driving progress.
