The Connecticut Technology Council has named Jamie Perry, vice president of corporate risk management at Southington-based COCC, as one of 11 winners at the 15th Annual Women of Innovation Awards.

The awards honored 50 finalists for their contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Perry was selected as the top Woman of Innovation from the Large Business Innovation and Leadership category, representing companies with 500 or more employees.

“It’s an absolute honor to be included in this year’s Women of Innovation event. This event gives women in all sectors a place to showcase their innovations and contributions to their field,” Perry said in a statement. “Today, women hold less than 20 percent of U.S. tech jobs even though they make up half the workforce. Let’s continue to endorse women in the technology field and foster inclusive and diverse working environments.”

COCC provides core processing solutions to community banks. In her role with the company, Perry is responsible for overseeing enterprise risk management and physical and information security programs. She has  taken the lead in overseeing the development of the security operations center to provide a security monitoring solution for COCC clients.

Additionally, Perry is a dedicated mentor to future leaders within COCC and industry-wide. She conducted COCC’s first-ever Women in Technology Roundtable, creating a platform for women within COCC to share best practices and collaborate on career growth in the technology sector.

Perry is also a senior master sergeant in the Air Force Reserves with 14 years of service.

“Jamie is an extremely talented individual, and she makes COCC a stronger and more secure organization,” Richard A. Leone, CEO of COCC, said in a statement. “She is certainly a woman of innovation and deserving of such accolades.”
