Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of DC for 2024
NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of DC for 2024. Washington, DC, the capital of the United States, is a vibrant, historic city that pulsates with political significance and cultural richness. Nestled along the banks of the Potomac River, this iconic metropolis is more than just the seat of government. Many innovative industries and dynamic companies thrive there, along with the professional women who lead them.
The recipients of this year's honor have served many top companies and brands, including Goldman Sachs, KPMG, Cisco, Deloitte, and Tony Roma's, as well as working on behalf of leading mission-driven organizations, such as the League of Women Voters, The National Center for Children and Families, and Safe Kids Worldwide.
This year's honorees feature Cindy Southworth, a committed activist who spent her career fighting on behalf of victims of domestic violence. In 2020, after 18 years in leadership roles at the National Network to End Domestic Violence, Southworth continued her mission as the Head of Women's Safety at Meta, one of the most influential technology companies in the world.
The seat of government is also a major hub for the legal market, and today, we honor several women in law, including Judy Smith, Founder and CEO of Smith & Company and a former federal prosecutor. Smith has counseled presidents and world leaders and advised some of the largest companies in the world, including Amazon, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google. Her ground-breaking career was even the inspiration for the political thriller Scandal.
Another recipient, Sita Sonty, the CEO of Space Tango, previously served as the Head of Human Spaceflight Sales at SpaceX, where she executed the first private spaceflight sale, furthering the ambitious goal of making humans a multi-planetary species.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top Women Leaders of DC for 2024.
