WILMINGTON, Del.--Jayshree Moorthy, CEO and Founder of Frontier Technologies, Inc. was recognized by the non-profit, 100 Black Men of Philadelphia, on December 5th, as part of the 2017 Women of Color Achievement Awards with the Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO).

Approaching 30 years in business, Moorthy has led Frontier Technologies from the ground floor, specializing in building agile, diverse technology and IT teams and developing disruptive strategic initiatives for decades.

But more than just her business, Moorthy has been an advocate in the community, placing her focus primarily on diversity and inclusion. She has served and sat on the boards and councils of other supplier diversity organizations like WBENC and the Back in 2013, Reshma Moorthy, Jayshree's daughter and President of Frontier Technologies, also received the same award. As a family-owned business, the mother-daughter pair have formed quite the dynamic duo, leading their company to explosive growth in the last few years.

Receiving her award in Center City Philadelphia at the Warwick Hotel culminated a year full of accomplishments for the seasoned business leader. As a family-owned business, she and her daughter, Reshma Moorthy, led her team to receive two awards from the EMSDC earlier in December: Class III Supplier of the Year and Minority Business Enterprise Advocate of the Year. And coming this March, she will receive the WBENC Star Award as well.

“I could not be more grateful to our wonderful clients, who allow us to do what we love,” said Moorthy. “Or to the many other women of color who prove that diverse business is good business by design. I only hope that we can continue to strive for equality, together, in the new year.”
