Winning the Gold Stevie® Award for Female Executive of the Year is a deeply personal honor, but it also highlights the exceptional work and dedication of the Viderity team. This recognition not only celebrates my leadership, but also elevates Viderity's reputation as a company that values innovation, education, and delivering impactful solutions to our clients.

The opportunities the Stevies give to share and be involved is heads above many other award programs. I started taking other people in business to New York for the Stevie Awards for Women in Business in 2017. I love the event and mixing with other amazing winners. It's always so well done and professional. The Stevie Awards process is one of integrity, easy to follow, and the judging is fair. I love the feedback from the judges; there aren't many awards that give you feedback and it is so valuable.

This is my first Stevie Award, and I’m representing my company as Co-founder and CEO. This is an international recognition as well as more recognition for underrepresented people in business. Our Stevie Awards are going to change the way the industry looks at our company. There are a lot of women in leadership positions at Chargeback Gurus, and this award shows that there is space for both women and men to succeed in business together.

Not only is the prestige of winning a Stevie Award high praise, but so too is the honor of serving as an example to young female entrepreneurs, showing them that they can create companies based on authenticity, passion, and creativity, and that those companies can thrive. I couldn't be more thrilled about this distinction and all the forward progress it represents.

Winning the Stevie Awards in several categories—like Gold for Achievement in Healthcare Services Marketing and Silver for Podcast of the Year—really highlights our commitment to shaking things up and making sure our clients stand out. These awards are a testament to our impact-driven approach, which is all about helping small to medium enterprises flourish.

Winning Female Thought Leader of the Year is an incredible honor that validates the dedication and passion I pour into advancing mental health and wellness in the workplace. For both myself and my organization, this recognition is a testament to our commitment to creating meaningful, human-centered benefits that support the well-being of individuals globally. It inspires us to continue driving impactful change in the way mental health and wellness are understood and prioritized.
