Behind the breakthroughs, the strategic wins, and the headline successes in our industry, there is a quiet force of women whose work is rarely seen but always felt. They are the organisers, the problem-solvers, the fixers, the women who hold the line so others can lead from the front. This edition of Women of Impact is dedicated to them.

This year, we are especially proud to celebrate our inaugural Women of Impact Award winner, Gail Lemon, whose story embodies the very essence of unseen excellence. Gail represents every woman who has quietly built trust, created opportunity, uplifted others, and changed the industry, not through grand gestures, but through intentional, consistent, deeply human leadership. Her journey reminds us that purpose driven work does not need an audience to matter.

As you read these stories of courage, care, grit, and reinvention, I hope you feel the pulse of an industry being transformed, not only by the women at the top, but by the women behind the scenes who make the impossible possible every day.
