AnitaB.org has named Bank of America a 2019 Top Company for Women Technologists. This is the second consecutive year that Bank of America has been recognized. The award was presented at the annual AnitaB.org Grace Hopper Celebration in Orlando, Florida.
Bank of America had the highest score in the technical workforce category of more than 10,000 employees. The award demonstrates Bank of America’s commitment to being a diverse and inclusive company, which is essential to our ability to meet the needs of our clients, communities and employees.
“Bank of America is a company built on diversity,” said Cathy Bessant, Bank of America’s chief operations and technology officer. “In 1919, we had the first bond saleswoman on Wall Street. We formed one of the first women-focused banking divisions in 1921. Six members of our board of directors and six direct reports of our CEO are women. We are proud to be a part of the Grace Hopper celebration and grateful for the recognition in this award. We work every day to be a great employer of choice for women in technology.”
