The Power DealmakeHers NewsmakeHer Award
The Power DealmakeHers NewsmakeHer Award celebrates the retail visionary women whose leadership, strategy, and collaboration brought one of the year’s most impactful retail or consumer deals to life.
These leaders are driving the evolution of the retail ecosystem, whether through strategic partnerships, acquisitions, or investments—and proving that influence and innovation go hand in hand. In a landscape where female-founded brands are increasingly achieving scale exits and attracting major investments yet remain underrepresented in large public M&A activity, this award spotlights the women breaking through barriers.
