Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of Toronto for 2025
NEW YORK, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top Women Leaders of Toronto for 2025. As Canada's largest city and the capital of Ontario, Toronto is a thriving hub of innovation, culture, and commerce. It's the country's leading contributor to the national economy and home to powerhouse industries including finance, technology, media, real estate, tourism, and business services. Amid rapid growth and global influence, the city continues to attract top talent and drive groundbreaking leadership across sectors.
Among this year's awardees is Meera Pathmanathan, Chief Financial Officer of Lanterra Developments Ltd., one of Toronto's premier real estate development firms. With over 25 years of experience, Pathmanathan has forged an inspiring path in traditionally male-dominated industries, earning recognition as a respected authority in real estate finance. She provides strategic and operational leadership, ensuring project execution aligns with the company's goals of efficiency, profitability, and excellence.
We also recognize Linda Muneka, Vice President of Robert Half's North American Management Resources Practice Group, a premier provider of senior-level accounting, finance, and business systems professionals. Muneka joined Robert Half in 2015, quickly taking on increased responsibility. She's led multiple teams by translating market and data-driven insights into actionable strategies, creating success in a highly competitive landscape. She is now responsible for driving the tactical execution of operational initiatives and go-to-market strategies for more than 90 offices in North America.
Finally, we honor Christine Tu, Director of the Office of Climate Change and Energy Management at the Region of Peel, the second-largest municipality in Ontario. Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and Tu has dedicated herself as a leader to transparently and equitably meeting that challenge. She brings her technical expertise, authentic passion, and collaborative style to inspire a rapid transition of municipal services to net-zero carbon while ensuring the material climate risks to $36 billion worth of public assets are understood, prioritized, and adapted for a safer and resilient future.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top Women Leaders of Toronto for 2025.
