Founders of online style advisers Outfittery Anna Alex and Julia Bösch won the Women in Digital prize at the third annual Digital Masters Awards last night.
The Digital Masters Awards took place at London’s Freemasons’ Hall, where 800 attendees gathered from global companies.
This year’s winners were judged by a panel of 20, including investors Robin Klein, Sonali De Rycker and Daniel Waterhouse. The event is organised by digital executive search and networking firm The Up Group.
On receiving the award, Alex and Bösch said: “We are happy and honoured to receive this award. It feels especially great since I still remember the times four years ago, when we started Outfittery in Julia’s living room and no one in Europe knew what online personal shopping is. I am lucky to have such a great team who is giving its best every day to make our 300,000 men happy and well dressed.”
Robert Swerling, Co-CEO of The Up Group, said: “We’re proud to honour these outstanding individuals, and delighted to be able to bring together such a fantastic audience to celebrate their success”.
Alex Deplege and Jules Coleman from Hassle were also celebrated and named runner up.
