Female tech #entrepreneur wins top #ICT business award #SmartDigital

The founder and CEO of Smart Digital Solutions, Veronica Motloutsi, founded Smart Digital a year ago to help organisations and homes move into the digital age

Motloutsi was recently selected overall winner of the Top 50 Inspiring Women and Top Female Entrepreneur of the Year Awards in recognition of her achievements in the ICT sector.

Her company's servces include fibre-to-the-home connectivity and remote security surveillance for homes.

Smart Digital has forged a partnership with Software AG to provide smart solutions to homes and businesses by leveraging the power of data analytics, big data software and connectivity.

The Johannesburg-based company has seven full-time employees and consultants on standby that get roped in on a project-by-project basis.

"I am excited and humbled to be named the overall winner… The competition was very fierce, as I was up against remarkable women who have blazed a trail in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) field," Motloutsi said.

She said receiving the accolades at the Standard Bank Top Women Awards would boost her company's public profile, beef up its credibility and instil confidence in both employees and existing and prospective clients.

Candidates for the Top 50 Inspiring Women Awards included women who are either founders of a technology company or hold a C-level position in a technology company, as well as influencers, academics or politicians in the technology or innovation space.
