WLDA Names Unstoppable COO Sandy Carter ‘Executive Champion’ of the Year
*The well-known organization for Women Leaders in data and AI has acknowledged the massive contribution made by the Chief Operating Officer of Unstoppable Domains to the Web3 space and tackling inequality.*
*NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2023 / *Sandy Carter, the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Business Development at leading Web3 domain names and digital identity provider Unstoppable Domains, has been awarded an honorary title of the "Executive Champion" by Women Leaders in Data and AI (WLDA), adding to her growing collection of achievements and acknowledgments.
"As our COO, Sandy is responsible for growth and business strategy on our mission to bring user-owned identity to the world. Throughout this charge, she has sought AI integrations, led Web3 partnerships, and explored opportunities in the metaverse," said Matthew Gould, CEO of Unstoppable Domains. "Sandy leverages immense experience as a former VP at AWS, specializing in emerging tech, leveraging AI, blockchain tech, and AR/VR. Before that, she was a General Manager at IBM and founded a Silicon Valley start-up. It's no wonder, with so much experience and a relentless approach to using AI/Data for technological progress, that WLDA picked her as their winner."
Women Leaders in Data and AI is a woman-run membership and mastermind circle organization for women leaders in data and AI. Their mission is to unite leading women in data and AI innovation to support a brighter future. The organization supports female leaders through one-of-a-kind opportunities to learn from their F1000 industry peers, as well as through discovering tech and data solutions, personal development, and professional growth.
Events such as the WLDA Awards, now running for the third time, are designed as a platform for women leaders to support one another, inspire new ideas, and forge connections they may not find elsewhere.
"WLDA was created to help shine a spotlight on women in the data and AI industry. A recent study by Deloitte demonstrated that women leave the AI field at high rates due to a stalled career and lack of support. WLDA highlights people and companies focused on making a difference across these fields," noted Asha Saxena, Founder and CEO of WLDA. "I launched WLDA to create a platform where women leaders in data and AI can prosper and find the support that they need to build an inclusive, scalable world for women and to create space for other women to join them."
Beyond her inspired leadership in technology, Sandy has also been fundamental in tackling uneven representation, gender bias, and stereotyping in tech and big data. With Sandy as COO, Unstoppable has committed to supporting female founders and led partnerships with several female-led startups to help them launch their businesses in Web3.
In 2022, Sandy founded Unstoppable Women of Web3 (WoW3) to improve representation and provide immense value to Web3, seeking to rectify the statistic that just 13% of Web3 founding teams include a woman, and only 3% comprise a team exclusively made up of women. WoW3 is a group of more than 200 companies and 49,000 female leaders dedicated to onboarding more women to Web3. Led by Sandy, WoW3 has committed to providing Web3 and metaverse education for 6 million women in Africa and 5 million in Latin America. This is partially achieved through free, multi-language educational resources on various blockchain and tech topics.
In 2022, Sandy helped WoW3 launch a metaverse HQ in partnership with Decentraland. The metaverse-based Headquarters represented a world-first metaverse education destination and was awarded the 2023 Lovie award and one Webby Award for its focus on diversity and inclusion.
