Ursula was recently awarded the CIO Award 2014 as best IT Manager of Switzerland. The ceremony for was held during the Confare Swiss CIO and IT Manager Summit in Zurich. It is the first time that a woman has received this prestigious award. The reasons of the Jury?

Sulzer CEO Klaus Stahlmann stated that “Sulzer was transforming from a locally and de-centralized organization to a key market oriented and globally set-up organization when Ursula Soritsch-Renier joined us. Ursula was instrumental to define a Vision, Strategy and Roadmap for IT to support our new business model and to provide the organizational agility to face the fast changing challenges of today’s global markets. ”
