Leadership Quote
Dr. Marry Gunaratnam, Senior Vice President of Information Technology at Northern Credit Union, said:
“I am deeply honored to receive the Women Engineer of the Year award. Engineering has always been about more than building systems — it is about creating solutions that improve lives, strengthen institutions, and open doors for the next generation of innovators.
This recognition is especially meaningful knowing there were more than 250 nominations from across the globe, representing some of the most talented engineers and technologists shaping our future.
Just before traveling to Boston, I had the privilege of speaking to my colleagues at Northern Credit Union during International Women’s Week about the idea of ‘Give to Gain’ — the belief that when you give your effort, discipline, ideas, and support to others, the impact eventually returns in ways you never expect.
When you focus on creating value, your work eventually speaks for itself.”
