About Obsidi® Awards 2025, Presented by BMO

The OBSIDI® Awards 2025, presented by BMO, celebrates visionary leaders and allies who embody the essence of transformative leadership. With this year’s theme, Leadership Beyond Limits, we honour individuals who defy boundaries, challenge the status quo, and drive meaningful impact across the tech landscape.

This prestigious event highlights the innovators, disruptors, and change agents shaping technology’s future and redefining leadership. From pioneering executives to groundbreaking tech professionals, the OBSIDI® Awards recognizes the full spectrum of Black excellence and allyship in tech across the United States and Canada.
