And the winner of the Advocate Award is... Thomas Pearson, @bitmovin !

🏆 Sponsored by @wbd , this Award is given to a male working across the media technology sector who has driven both internal and external initiatives to support gender diversity. Over the last year, they will have worked to support or develop new programmes that encourage, promote and champion gender diversity within their own companies or wider industry community. They will have also used their voice to drive conversations and ensure that the lack of gender diversity remains a priority for their colleagues and the industry.

👏 The Judges said that Thomas has shown that he continuously goes above and beyond to embed diversity and inclusion into the company’s DNA and that they have a diverse talent pool when hiring. He has done more than just ‘pinkwash’ existing HR policies and is structurally and systemically changing the people management approach so that women have an equitable chance of success through each step of their careers.

Our winner is a true ally for women, role modelling the diverse and inclusive environment we are all striving to build, and that is why he deserves to be recognized as Advocate of the Year.

We are thrilled to announce that the Rise Special Recognition Award goes to Lesley McGilp (#RedBeeMedia)! 🚀

🏆 As shared by Rise Founder and CEO, Sadie Groom: “This woman has made a huge impact in the broadcasting world, creating new standards for accessibility that have helped in significant ways and made a fundamental shift in how broadcasters engage with this particular community. Her impact has been particularly significant in her work on national events such as the UK Election campaign and night, the Eurovision Song Contest, FA Disability Cup, the Queens funeral and Kings Coronation, Glastonbury and the Paralympics.

As a partially deaf person, the entry resonated with me so much. She has given deaf people in the UK better access to British Sign Language, and for deaf viewers allowed them to participate in national grief and celebration, creating a sense of inclusion and community. She is an inspirational figure not only within the Red Bee signing team but also the broadcast industry - – as her entry said this woman has no equals.”
