Growth investing is driven by long-term performance, supported by exceptional leadership.

NEW YORK, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Growth investing is driven by long-term performance, supported by exceptional leadership. Women in senior positions across firms play a pivotal role in advancing the asset class, excelling not only in investment acumen but also in other key strategic areas such as value creation, platform development, investor relations, and firm operations.

Now in its fifth year, the Top Women Leaders in Growth Investing award recognizes a highly select group of individuals who have demonstrated sustained excellence in their areas of expertise and have earned the enduring respect of their peers and stakeholders. Selection for this recognition reflects a rare combination of talent, work ethic, judgment, and character.

This year's recipients were carefully chosen from a competitive pool of nominations, following a comprehensive evaluation of professional achievements, leadership contributions, and overall influence—supported, in many cases, by input from colleagues, portfolio company executives, and other industry participants.

While not every nominee could be featured, we at GrowthCap commend all for their outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to excellence. We are proud to present this year's leaders, who are among the most accomplished and influential figures shaping the future of growth investing.

Please join us in celebrating and congratulating this year's awardees.
