Wendy Nwajiufor Is Helping Women and Newcomers Build Their Place in Tech

For women and newcomers pursuing careers in technology, technical knowledge is only part of the journey. Access to mentorship, professional networks and opportunities to develop confidence can also shape how they move forward.

Wendy Nwajiufor has made creating that access a central part of her work. An award-winning tech leader, project manager and senior business analyst, Wendy brings more than a decade of experience leading complex business transformation initiatives across multiple industries. As Founder and President of WinTECH Community, she applies that experience to helping women and underrepresented professionals build meaningful careers.

Building a community around opportunity

WinTECH Community is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to empowering women, young girls and underrepresented professionals through mentorship, career development, leadership training, digital skills and entrepreneurship.

Under Wendy’s leadership, the organisation has supported hundreds of professionals as they develop their careers, expand their networks and gain confidence in navigating the technology sector.

The community’s work recognises that people need different kinds of support at different stages. Someone exploring a STEM career may need exposure to possible pathways. A newcomer may need guidance on communicating existing experience in a new professional environment. An emerging leader may be looking for mentorship and opportunities to take on greater responsibility.

Through WinTECH, Wendy helps create spaces where women can learn, ask questions and build relationships that support their next steps.

Bringing professional experience into community leadership

Alongside her community work, Wendy has built expertise in project management, business analysis, Agile delivery, process improvement, stakeholder engagement and digital transformation.

Her work involves helping organisations understand business needs, coordinate people and processes, and deliver change. These skills also inform how she approaches mentorship and community development: identifying barriers, understanding what people need and helping them take practical steps forward.

Her professional qualifications include SAP ERP certification in Human Resources, Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP), Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) and ITIL certification.

Wendy also contributes as an educator, speaker, mentor and content creator. She shares practical insights on technology careers, leadership, immigration and professional growth with audiences across Canada and beyond.

Recognition for advancing STEM and community impact

Wendy’s commitment to service has earned recognition across technology and community leadership.

Her honours include the King Charles III Coronation Medal, recognising contributions to Canadian communities and the country, and the STEM Advancement Award from Lotus Hope Foundation for her contributions to STEM education, mentorship and community empowerment.

She has also received a Community Champion Award from the YMCA, a Women in Tech Excellence Award from Remarkable Women Inc., and an Innovative Award from Canada Vendors.

These recognitions reflect the connection between her professional work and her commitment to helping others access opportunities.

Helping people turn potential into progress

At the centre of Wendy’s work is a clear mission: removing barriers and equipping people with the skills, confidence and connections to build meaningful careers. Whether she is mentoring an emerging professional, speaking to an audience or leading a community initiative, her focus remains on helping people recognise their potential and take steps towards it.

Beyond her professional and community commitments, Wendy values quality time with her husband and children. Her story is a reminder that leadership can extend beyond the projects a person delivers. It can also be measured in the people they support and the opportunities they help others access.

Media Pitch Challenge

All You Need to Know About the Women of Rubies Media Pitch Challenge

This February, in celebration of Black History Month, Women of Rubies is hosting the Media Pitch Challenge, a Black woman–led visibility and media empowerment initiative designed to amplify the voices, stories, and impact of women founders, creatives, and changemakers.

Building on the success of our Media Visibility Bootcamp, this challenge creates a direct pathway from preparation to exposure. It was designed to address a critical gap: women are doing powerful work, yet many still lack access to the platforms, media opportunities, and decision-makers needed to scale their impact. The Media Pitch Challenge exists to bridge that gap while welcoming more women into a growing ecosystem of visibility, support, and access.

What Is the Women of Rubies Media Pitch Challenge?

The Media Pitch Challenge is a curated visibility opportunity where women are invited to pitch their story, brand, or initiative for media exposure and strategic amplification.

Unlike traditional pitch competitions focused solely on funding, this challenge centers visibility as currency, because being seen creates access to funding, partnerships, credibility, and long-term growth.

Why This Matters,  Especially During Black History Month

Black History Month is not only about reflection, but it is also about recognition, representation, and elevation.

This initiative:

  • Celebrates Black women’s leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship

  • Highlights underrepresented voices doing meaningful work

  • Aligns with broader goals of economic empowerment and inclusion

  • Creates tangible visibility opportunities, not just conversations

The Media Pitch Challenge positions Black History Month as a moment of action and amplification, not symbolism alone.

How the Media Pitch Challenge Works

The process is intentionally structured to be accessible, fair, and impactful.

Step 1: Registration
Participants register to secure their spot in the challenge.

Step 2: Video Pitch Submission
Each participant submits a 2-minute video pitch sharing:

  • Who they are

  • What they do

  • Why their story or work deserves visibility

Step 3: Review & Shortlisting
All video pitches are reviewed in advance by a panel of media and industry experts.

Step 4: Live Pitch Event
A select group of shortlisted participants pitches live during the virtual event on February 28, 2026 and receives feedback.

Step 5: Winner Selection
One standout pitch is selected to receive a premium media visibility package.

What the Winner Receives

The selected winner will receive a $2500 worth of Premium Media Visibility Package, including:

  • Feature spotlight on Women of Rubies and other top media platforms like Guardian, Associated Press, Canada News Journal, Business Insider, podcasts, and strategic visibility amplification across partner platforms.

This package is designed to elevate visibility, credibility, and reach,  long after the event ends.

Who Should Apply? This challenge is for:

  • Women founders and entrepreneurs

  • Creatives and storytellers

  • NGO leaders and social impact builders

  • Women-led brands and initiatives

  • Changemakers ready to be seen

If visibility, credibility, and access are part of your 2026 goals, this opportunity is for you.

Media & Community Partners

This initiative is delivered in collaboration with visibility and community partners, including Montreal Vendors, WinTECH Community, Leading Ladies Connect, Audaz Magazine,  Toronto Caribbean Newspaper, and other aligned media and ecosystem platforms committed to advancing women-led stories and impact.
