Remodista's 2020-21 Women2Watch in Business Disruption - The List

We are excited to share Remodista's 2020-2021 Women2Watch in Business Disruption Honorees. These women are solving challenges that are complex and forward thinking in all areas of direct-to-consumer global business. This program helps our community shine a spotlight on, and think through solutions for problems that require innovation.  It brokers collaboration between subject matter experts and creates a cycle of feedback and shared insights. At the same time, we help curate and cultivate pioneer voices in the future of business.

We continue to be challenged with a global pandemic, civil discourse, and climate change. A decade ago the disruption came from women leaders rising, technology breaking, and the world becoming a global economy. We worked through those challenges and we will continue to do the same in this next decade.

This year we are giving out three awards:

Innovation - This is for leaders who have created a new business model, product, or service that solves a business challenge and created disruption in your industry.
Purpose-driven - For those who use purpose to drive business, it becomes more complex over time. This award is for those who have continued to keep purpose as the centerpiece of all of their successes in life and business.
Resilience - The past two years have taken a serious toll on our minds, bodies, and spirits. Resilience comes from someone who understands that it is what we do with what we get, and not what we get.
