NEW YORK, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Maryland for 2025. Known for its diverse landscape and rich history, Maryland boasts a strong multicultural identity that mirrors its thriving economy. The state's economic engine is fueled by innovation in high-growth industries, including life sciences, renewable energy, and cutting-edge sectors such as cybersecurity, information technology, cleantech, and quantum computing. Alongside these emerging industries, Maryland also maintains a robust foundation in traditional sectors like fishing and mining, contributing to a dynamic and multifaceted economy.
Among this year's honored leaders is Joyce Hunter, Executive Director for Collaboration and Education at Mission Critical. Hunter leads initiatives that build strategic partnerships and educational programs aimed at addressing global cybersecurity and critical infrastructure challenges. Her focus is on enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration and developing comprehensive workforce strategies.
We also congratulate Prachee Devadas, Chief Executive Officer and President of Synergy Enterprises, Inc. Devadas provides strategic direction and leads a multidisciplinary staff of over 120 full-time employees. Under her leadership, the company has grown to provide solutions for complex health and education policy issues, program implementation, technical assistance, monitoring, evaluation, and strategic communications.
Finally, we congratulate Penelope Merced, Chief Technology Officer at MidCap Financial. Merced drives digital transformation initiatives that generate tangible value for MidCap and pioneers innovative technology strategies. She has headed the IT department since 2016 and has established the five core domains of IT from the ground up.
