Marion Shaw wins ‘Role Model of the Year’ at flagship Women in Data event

Marion Shaw, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Alliance Healthcare, by Cencora, has been awarded ‘Role Model of the Year’ at Women in Data’s Flagship event in London. The award was presented by Roisin McCarthy, Founder of Women in Data, recognising Marion’s leadership, expertise and commitment to supporting others in the field of data and analytics. The honour also reflects her ongoing contribution to innovation, excellence and the development of more inclusive teams within the sector.

The event was attended by leaders, peers and professionals from across the data and analytics industry. Marion was joined by colleagues and her daughter, making the recognition especially meaningful.

Marie Evans, Managing Director of Alliance Healthcare, By Cencora, said:“This award is testament to Marion’s leadership and vision. It’s fantastic to see Marion recognised as an expert in her field and as someone who continues to inspire others.”

Women in Data is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting greater representation and equality across data and analytics. Women remain significantly under-represented across STEM fields, with male analysts and data scientists outnumbering their female colleagues by four to one across the industry. Greater diversity in data is vital, helping to ensure that insight, analysis and decision-making are stronger, more responsible and more reflective of the people and communities they serve.

Commenting on her win, Marion Shaw said:“Women in Data is so much more than just an organisation. It’s a family where support and encouragement are given freely, and where learning, growth, mentoring and being mentored happen naturally. Having been part of this group since its early days, I have been truly inspired by the way it has grown into a vibrant collective of role models.”

Marion’s recognition is a proud moment and a reflection of the important role she plays in championing data, analytics and inclusive leadership.

Congratulations Marion!
