The prize, first awarded in 2019 during ITnation’s Golden-i gala, recognizes the country’s best and brightest tech leaders for their outstanding achievements.

Shining a light on the real talent behind the computer screens

The Tech Talent of the Year award aims to shine a spotlight on the technical talents of the industry, the individuals behind the computer screens, from Tech Leads to CTOs. “ At nexten.io we root for the real doers in tech, the ones wearing the t-shirts ,” says Anissa Lechaudel, Brand Manager. “ We not only help them find new job opportunities through our platform, but also aim to help build up the tech community by recognizing the contributions of its talented members ,” she continues.

Last year’s inaugural edition was a big success, with 60 tech talents in the running and over 4000 members of the community taking part in the voting to choose the five finalists. An advisory board made up of top industry experts from companies including PwC, KPMG and Mangrove then selected the winner, Georges Berscheid, Co-Founder and CTO of Luxembourg FinTech startup Finologee.
