Announcing the winner of the BRONZE Stevie Award for Women in Business – 

Women helping women

Awarded to Anneli Blundell (Women@Work program)

What is a Stevie award, you ask?

Three words….

• Global

• Long-running

• Prestigious

Ok so that’s four words but you get the idea.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honour women executives, entrepreneurs, employees, and the companies they run– worldwide.  The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Stevie Awards competitions receive more than 12,000 entries each year from organisations in more than 70 nations. Honouring organisations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognise outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

On the shoulders of giants

No-one can win Female Entrepreneur of the Year on their own. It takes a team.

I would like to thank my amazing team – Julie, Jenny and Grace (and those that came before them Eloiza, Vicky, Maria Therese and Lai) for your tireless dedication to high-quality work and support for our clients. You make my life easier and my work better. :)

I want to acknowledge my many mentors who have shaped the businesswoman that I am today, including (but certainly not limited to):

• Dr. Marilyn Powell and Ian Powell

• Dr. Carl Harshman

• Matt Church

• Pete Cook

• Corrinne Armour

• Shelle Rose Charvet

• Patrick Merlevede

• Dr. Chuck Appleby

• Dr. Stephen Schuitevoerder

• Rho Sandberg

• Howard Boorman

• Steven McInness

And of course to the keeper of my heart and my happiness, my family - Jason, Sienna and my mum, Julie.​ 

Finally, I’d like to dedicate this award to all my clients who have trusted me with their personal and professional development over the years and have entrusted me with their teams, their companies and their cultures. You have shaped the businesswoman I am today and I am forever grateful. I am excited for the future. :)

P.S. I am also honoured to be part of an award-winning documentary, Transcending the Gender Narrative (Episode 7). Congratulations, Amelia Veale for winning 2021 Antenna Awards Outstanding Direction in a Program.

“We thought the remarkable stories of achievement we saw in last year’s awards couldn’t be topped, but we were wrong.  Women-owned and -run organizations have contributed significantly to the increase in innovation and entrepreneurial activity we’ve seen globally since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The nominations submitted to the 18th Stevie Awards for Women in Business that attest to this are inspiring, humbling, and motivating.  We congratulate all of our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie winners." 

- Maggie Gallagher Miller, President of the Stevie Awards
