SmartBear has named Jamie McNulty, Lead Product Owner of API Platforms at Lumen Technologies, as the recipient of its Q3 Women in Tech Award. This quarterly recognition programme aims to celebrate individuals in technology who demonstrate passion, dedication, and a can-do spirit. The award focuses on notable contributions to teams and organisations through positive impact, team energy, and skills.

Maureen Plowman, Senior Vice President of Brand and Corporate Communications at SmartBear, said, "Diversity in tech is essential for broadening perspectives, better problem-solving, and driving innovation in a more equitable industry, and SmartBear is dedicated to increasing the representation of women." 

"We are inspired by the commitment of so many women in the tech industry and strive to celebrate the women in our customer organisations who are making a difference in their teams and organisations. Our Women in Tech Award acknowledges the important work women in tech are doing every day – from coding and debugging to collaborating, accelerating innovation, and so much more. Congratulations to Jamie McNulty for her outstanding achievements and contributions to the tech industry. She is a true embodiment of this award."

Jamie McNulty has been the Product Owner of API Platforms at Lumen Technologies for nearly three years. During this time, she has led various projects aimed at enhancing the adoption and effective use of SwaggerHub, an API design and documentation tool developed by SmartBear. McNulty has coordinated bi-weekly training sessions for new SwaggerHub adopters, organised best practice sessions for long-time users, and provided proactive suggestions to improve training materials. Her initiatives have ensured that all SwaggerHub customers, not just those at Lumen Technologies, access high-quality resources.

Liz Victor, Account Manager, API Lifecycle at SmartBear, said, "Having worked closely with Jamie, she is known for her openness and honesty, strong communication skills, can-do attitude, friendliness, and timely responses, all of which have made her an invaluable partner in our collaborative efforts."

"Jamie's ambitious contributions to Lumen Technologies and the SwaggerHub community reflect the high standards and forward-thinking mindset that SmartBear's Women in Tech Award spotlights. Her dedication to excellence and continuous improvement in software quality makes her the ideal recipient of this award."

Upon receiving the award, McNulty expressed her gratitude, stating, "I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to grow and develop as a tech professional, and thankful to SmartBear for recognising my impact. I'm honoured to receive this award and appreciative for the support of my team and colleagues. Together, we can all make a difference toward the continued advancement of the software industry."
