Itaas CEO Vibha Rustagi has been named the 2015 Women in Technology Award winner by Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and Cablefax.
Rustagi was one of three founders of itaas in 1999. It was acquired by Cognizant in 2014. She’s been involved in the cable tech industry for more than two decades. She is both a Cable TV Pioneer and a recipient of NCTA’s The Vanguard Award for Associates and Affiliates.
Now in its 20th year, the Women in Technology Award was launched in 1995 to give credit to leading women in cable tech and honors the achievements of one woman who exhibits outstanding professional achievement and advances the cable telecommunications industry.
“We are proud to honor Vibha with this well-deserved award. As a CEO and a technology leader, she is paving the way for other women to follow in her footsteps. It is fitting that in the award’s twentieth year, we recognize someone of her stature,” said Maria E. Brennan, CAE, President and CEO of WICT.
“Vibha Rustagi is one of those rare individuals who has had an impact at every stop she has made as she has climbed the ladder of her career,” said SCTE’s Operations SVP Lindsay Johnston.
“Vibha has been a key technologist and business leader in this industry for many years, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to recognize her many contributions,” said Cablefax Associate Publisher Michael Grebb. “Vibha’s success has been nothing short of inspirational, and her unique ability to explain and evangelize the benefits of technology makes her the perfect choice for this year’s Women in Technology Award.”
