Introduction
A growing tidal wave hitting businesses can be summarized in threeletters – ESG. The environmental, social and governance investing

movement may not have fully grabbed the public’s attention – yet – but it
is rapidly growing on national and international business radars. In fact,
ESG assets are expected to exceed $50 trillion globally by 2025.

In 2022, Women in Cloud has been committed to turbo charging ESG

focused brand integration with corporate initiatives to ignite economic
access through co-branding, co-developing women leaders, co-recruiting diverse talent and co-marketing. We expanded our partnerships
to include Kyndryl and KPMG this past year. Women in Cloud will continue
to put forth brand integration activities with Fortune 1000 companies andserve as a strategic GTM Community Partner to achieve innovative andstrategic business outcomes to accelerate 2023.

Women in Cloud has continued to advance workforce development ofwomen in tech through up-skilling and re-skilling opportunities,

scholarships, events, content, programming and skills development

opportunities. Notably, Women in Cloud has partnered with Microsoft

Azure to deliver over 2400+ scholarships to WIC members, connected
thousands of women with employers and recruiters from some of theworld’s largest tech companies through our #CloudJobs initiative, andestablished hundreds of warm introductions within our network.

Through our flagship program, WICxLEAD, we are helping CEOs and theirboard of directors develop an Digital ESG business case and operating
model, all while accelerating brand, moon short idea, and brandintegration with communities. The year-round program supports 25

purpose-driven scholars in finding and defining their leadership purpose
and creating impactful ESG strategies, operating models and reporting

mechanisms that support inclusive economic growth by partnering withcommunities.

“WIC Cloud Accelerator has been transformational. Inspiring leadership, guidance from experienced
mentors, and being part of such a strong team of female tech founders leads to rapid growth andpowerful relationships that build companies and communities,” says Andrea Sorensen, Founder of Liiingo.
Our mandate to support women expanded beyond corporate executives

and entrepreneurs this year as we launched WICxYoungGirls, a crowdfunding
campaign to support young girls to access tech opportunities in 2023. The

campaign directly supports 100 girls aged 15-21 in accessing techscholarships, adult mentors, internship projects, community events,
education and more to develop them as young leaders.

Throughout 2022 we placed a keen focus on inclusive policy development
and advocacy training. Using regular policy roundtable discussions withwomen executives and allies, entrepreneurs and policy makers we identified
critical and necessary considerations around AI bias, data privacy andcertification policies to ensure they are accessible and inclusive of women intech. Our new Policy Advocacy Academy provides women and allies with ondemand digital training to become

civic-minded policy leaders within their own organization or ecosystem.
We are kicking off 2023 with a history-making event, we’re planning

GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title attempt for the most users in a visionboard video hangout. The record-setting event will take place on February 1,

2023 and will be led by Patti Dobrowolski, visual thinker and change activator,

and Founder of Up Your Creative Genius. During the three-hour session, Patti
