AUCKLAND, Tuesday: NZ founded digital transformation agency Hype & Dexter AUNZ is putting women in tech on the map, with their win at B&T’s Australasian Women Leading Tech Awards.

The company’s drive for diversity in a still male-dominated sector was recognised with the Advocacy Award at a gala event in Sydney last week.

Hype & Dexter co-founder Romi Dexter has spearheaded a range of initiatives to encourage more women into the tech industry including paid internships for young women in tertiary and secondary education.

“The win is a testament to the incredible team at Hype & Dexter,” she says. “Their hard work in driving and pushing to open up more easily accessible career pathways in the technology sector is continually immense.


“The agency has offices in Auckland and Melbourne and more than 50% of its employees are women.”

“My hat goes off to the amazing people I work with every day as they support each other, drive their peers and mentor high school students, who normally wouldn’t get the chance to experience what technology is all about.”

“We’re trying to change the perception of technology, by providing great experiences, and showing the breadth and opportunity of the tech sector one woman at a time,” says Dexter.

“Our internal Women In Tech group is dedicated to encouraging, supporting, and inspiring women to explore the opportunities.

“It’s pretty special to be able to show women that although we may be a little geeky at times, the tech industry, and the people that work it,  are actually pretty damn cool.”
