I've worked through several waves of disruption, from digital to design-led transformation and now AI. Each time, women have had to reaffirm their role in leading through them. I believe women are central to navigating this much complexity and change, yet our impact still too often goes unacknowledged. Awards like these make it visible. They give organisations a reason to sponsor and promote women, and they give younger women role models they can see themselves in. This wave is moving faster than any I've seen. Recognising the women leading it keeps us in the conversation about a future that will affect women disproportionately.
