We are delighted to announce that PlanetPlay’s CEO Rhea Loucas and Chief Strategy Officer Jude Ower MBE have been named as Stevie® Award Finalists in the Female Innovator of the Year – Non-Profit and Female Social Activist of the Year categories, respectively, at the 22nd annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honour the achievements of women executives, entrepreneurs, employees, and the organisations they run – worldwide. Nicknamed Stevie for the Greek word for ‘crowned’, the Stevie Award has been hailed as the world’s premier business award.
The awards will be presented at a gala event in New York City on Monday, November 10, where Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie placements from among the Finalists will be revealed.
More than 400 women and their guests from around the world are expected to attend the presentations, which will be broadcast live.
More than 1,500 entries from organisations and individuals in 48 nations and territories were submitted this year for consideration in categories such as Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Company of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women, and Women-run Workplace of the Year, among many others.
Finalists were determined based on the average scores of more than 190 business professionals worldwide, serving across seven judging committees. Their scores will also determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie placements.
Details about the Stevie Awards for Women in Business and the list of winners in all categories are available at www.StevieAwards.com/Women.
The shortlisting adds to what has been a busy year of recognition for our projects and amazing partners so far, joining previous nominations/wins at the TIGA Awards, MCV/Develop Awards, Develop: Star Awards and Mobile Games Awards.
