2024 Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Awards distinguished 103 bold women for their leadership and groundbreaking achievements that have meaningfully transformed their industries, companies, communities, and country.

Hanna Abdel Hamid has taken a well-deserved place among these outstanding women. Besides being the Head of Sigma Software Canada, a successful IT service company working with world-known brands, such as IATA and Aol., Hanna actively participates in various community initiatives and serves as a board member for a non-profit organization. She is highly engaged and enthusiastic about promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Hanna gave keynote speeches at global events like Gitex Africa, Women in Tech Global Conference, Women in AI Canada, and Collision Conference, inspiring women to pursue tech careers and overcome challenges. Moreover, she mentors women and non-binary people in the early stages of their careers, helping them navigate their professional paths and achieve their goals.

Hanna contributes to strengthening DEI culture in Sigma Software, which aims to highlight the importance of the role that women play in the company. Thus, Sigma Software has 35% of women in its staff against the average of 25% in the industry and keeps working on attracting women to tech professions. Together with other women, who work in the company, she promotes gender parity in IT and fights prejudice related to gender roles. Their efforts helped the company win the title of the Best Workplace for Women in Tech in 2023.
