The Women Tech Council (WTC), a national organization focused on the economic impact of women in the technology sector, announced that Air Methods CEO JaeLynn Williams has been named a finalist in the 2023 Women Tech Awards, the premier awards program for women in technology with ties to Silicon Slopes.

Over the last 16 years, the Women Tech Awards have brought visibility to distinguished, technology-focused women throughout the industry who are creating new technologies, leading technology companies, driving innovation, and inspiring the tech community.

“The 2023 Women Tech Award finalists show the powerful and indisputable impact that women are making throughout the technology sector,” said Cydni Tetro, president of WTC. “While they work in different technology disciplines and fields, recognizing the work they’re doing in their professional roles and personal contributions elevates our vision of what’s possible, accelerates our collective impact, and inspires us to do more.”

Williams was selected as a finalist based on her professional achievements, business leadership, industry experiences, personal accomplishments, and community impact by a panel of leaders and innovators from throughout the technology sector.

Williams, who has served as CEO since January 2020, has led the company to greater heights, despite the unprecedented challenges posed by COVID. With an eye for emerging technology and a focus on evolving the air medical industry, Williams has expanded Air Methods to include Spright, a global drone solutions provider, and recently launched Air Methods Ascend, its critical care education program.

Prior to that, she held the position of executive vice president for Air Methods Sales, Marketing and Communications through which she led the revitalization of Sales and Marketing operations, developed management operating systems and metrics for measuring performance, and instituted customer-centric improvements to build and retain business.

“We’re very honored to have such a forward-thinking leader,” said Dallan Huff, senior vice president of Marketing, Communications and Commercialization for Air Methods. “It is thanks to her fearless leadership and strategic approach that we have been able to thrive as an organization and position Air Methods as a leader in our industry.”

All finalists will be honored, and award recipients will be announced on Oct. 11 at an awards luncheon at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. The 2023 awards will be presented by Clearlink, Entrata, GOEO, Domo, Pelion, Sorenson, Vivint and VMware. For information about the Women Tech Awards, visit www.womentechcouncil.com.
