"None of this would be possible without the support of my fantastic team, who keep me motivated and in business with purpose every day."

O'Brien was recognised for her "outstanding personal ambition and vision" at the ceremony at Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, London on November 29.

Embridge has seen sustained growth and has delivered 25 new digital change projects and secured eight new managed service clients, including, Surrey County Council and Islamic Relief over the last 12 months.
