Terri Hatcher, chief diversity and inclusion officer at NTT DATA Services, has won WashingtonExec’s 2023 Chief Officer Award for Chief Diversity Officer in the Public & Private Company category.
WashingtonExec on May 10 unveiled the winners of the Chief Officer Awards, an annual program that celebrates influential and innovative executives in government and industry in the C-suite. The event took place at McLean’s luxurious Ritz Carlton, where 535 attendees came together for a memorable in-person luncheon.
Along with the government and industry winners, Sudhakar Kesavan, chairman of the board of directors at ABM Industries, Inc. and board member of Cadmus Group and Dexis Consulting Group, was honored with the 2023 Chief Officer Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes the career of a longtime, influential and impactful CEO, as Kesavan served as ICF CEO for an impressive 21 years, making him a true industry stalwart. Maximus CEO Bruce Caswell served as the emcee for this year’s awards ceremony.
Hatcher noted in her finalist Q+A with WashingtonExec that engaging others, recognizing their passion and “terrific ideas” and then supporting them have been especially important to her.
“I have loved being in positions that give me access to a broad range of employees and the ability to listen to them and hear their stories,” she said. “My current role presents an incredible opportunity to listen to people of NTT DATA.”
