Virtusa, a provider of digital strategy and IT services, is recognised for its pro-active actions on diversity and inclusion. Its diversity strategy is bolstered by investments in technology and security systems, enabling our teams to work remotely across geographical and social boundaries.
Global Head of Sustainability and Facilities, and Joint Country Head of Virtusa Sri Lanka, Denver De Zylva, has been recognised as one of the ‘Top 10 Diversity Champions for 2024.’
This accolade was awarded by the Women in Management (WIM) Foundation in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), under the ‘Respectful Workplaces’ initiative.
The award program, now in its second year, honours leaders who have made remarkable contributions to fostering diversity and inclusion within their organisations. These champions are selected for their ability to create inclusive environments that empower individuals to thrive, while also setting benchmarks for innovative leadership across industries. Denver’s inclusion in this group reflects Virtusa’s commitment to cultivating a workplace culture that prioritises respect, collaboration, and innovation.
Denver’s selection was the result of a rigorous evaluation process involving 43 nominations from the public and private sectors. A panel of judges, including Gevorg Sargsyan, Country Manager for World Bank and IFC, and Jayanthi Dharmasena, Director at Hayleys Agriculture Holdings, reviewed the submissions to identify individuals who embody excellence in leadership and inclusion.
This approach has facilitated global collaboration among individuals and teams with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Virtusa is committed to creating an equal opportunity workplace and community, focusing on growing women into leadership roles through flexible work options, leadership training and coaching programs.
