NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Raleigh for 2025. Raleigh stands at the crossroads of research, technology, and education, where collaboration drives much of the region's success. As part of North Carolina's Research Triangle, the city has built a strong foundation in life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare while continuing to attract new businesses and talent. Beyond its economic strength, Raleigh's growth reflects a deeper commitment to learning, innovation, and community—values shared by this year's honorees.
Among our honorees is Janice Salchert, Vice President and Senior Partner at IBM Consulting. As a seasoned executive with proven success in the technology, computer, and financial services industries, Salchert has played a significant role in IBM's continued evolution and growth by devising new strategies and driving high-impact initiatives that maximize the company's potential, revenue, and profits. She was responsible for the largest Agile Delivery rollout that today supports the deployment of GenAI and asset-based Delivery worldwide.
We also honor Alison Saine, Chief of Staff to the Chief Marketing Officer at Sodexo, a global leader in sustainable food. Saine applies her project management expertise to align data-driven insights with organizational goals, supporting strategy development and execution across teams. She works closely with executives to prioritize initiatives and connect strategy to day-to-day operations, helping advance Sodexo's long-term objectives.
We also honor Candice Coletrane, Executive Director of Product Operations for Lenovo ISG. With more than 20 years of experience in the PC and server industry, Coletrane brings deep expertise in hardware development, engineering, testing, validation, supply chain, and operations. One of the first technical project managers on Lenovo's storage development team, she now leads the product operations group responsible for bringing ISG products from concept to market.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders of Raleigh for 2025.
