The winner of this award will be a woman who has left their mark and is making waves.​

As of 2020, there were still only five female CEOs in the FTSE 100 - an increase of just one since 2012.

The Rising Star Award will be awarded to a woman who is at the forefront of changing these statistics; recognising and championing a female business leader who is on a clear trajectory to business success, paving the way for those to follow.
