Mette beat another 20 candidates to be shortlisted among the top three but just missed winning the award.
All finalists were judged on their strategic and innovative talent, as well as leadership.
Mette's efforts during the Unitor acquisition and synergy project which involved the integration of the IT divisions, infrastructure and applications, sealed her nomination among the top three.
Mette is known for her strong leadership style and ability to get the job done. She summed up her leadership style for the awards jury. "My position as CIO involves being a translator - between the language used by the IT division and the business process. I feel a good IT leader must also have the ability to make their team feel important".
