  "summary": "Ir. Geetha Remy Vincent, Principal of Spectrum & Regulatory Affairs at MEASAT, has been recognized for her contributions to Malaysia's digital connectivity through the Women in Tech Leadership (Regulatory and Public Affairs) award at the PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards 2026. Her leadership and contributions, particularly in spectrum management and regulatory affairs, have been crucial in ensuring that the necessary resources and policies are in place for future growth. This recognition highlights the often-overlooked role of regulation and spectrum management in supporting connectivity, innovation, and digital transformation. Geetha's shift from focusing on compliance to collaboration has shaped her approach to regulatory affairs, emphasizing partnership, foresight, and alignment with national digital ambitions. Her work extends beyond Malaysia, as she has been involved in securing critical resources for satellite spectrum and orbital resources at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), contributing to Malaysia's digital sovereignty and communications resilience.",
