Remodista's 2020 Women2Watch in Business Disruption - The List

​In its fifth year, we are excited to share Remodista's 2020 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 perspectives and up-and-coming voices in business.  As they hone their future-thinking perspectives, we plug them into perspectives, connections and celebrations that elevate them. Join us at our premier Purpose Fashion and Beauty Week September 27th through October 3rd.

This year we had decided to connect with the honorees in January and work with them behind the scenes for the first half of the year. While the discourse of 2020 is proving our predictions, it has been a continued challenge to innovation quicker than we had anticipated in our projections.

That said, these W2W honorees are doing amazing things in many different ways. We look forward to celebrating them in our Purpose Fashion + Beauty Week from September 27th to October 3rd. We will announce ten finalist September 23rd, and five W2W Innovation Award Winners on September 30th.

This years awards are based on the honoree submittals and our Global Innovation Committee's assessment. What did you accomplished or solved during this pandemic: innovation, purpose, equality, or giving back?
