The first women we’re spotlighting in 2026 aren’t just kicking off the year—they’re showing us what leadership really looks like when it’s done with clarity, conviction, and zero interest in fitting a mold.

We’re doubling down on our mission this year: to amplify the visibility of extraordinary executives by bringing public awareness and private support to women everyone should know, learn from, and be inspired by.

So if you’re getting this in your inbox… get ready to meet women whose styles, voices, and paths might look different—but whose impact is undeniable. [And if you have someone to nominate to be featured this year… we’ve made it easy to do so here.]

Learning, but make it human
She’s the Founder & Co-CEO of Disco, where she’s using AI to power community-driven learning. Candice believes the future of up-skilling lies in human connection—not automation. And that magic happens when we learn together. Whether it’s sharing wisdom or playing pickleball with her family, Candice is all about showing up with joy.
