The program recognizes a diverse array of senior-level female rising stars and mentors from across the industry, from major retailers including 7-Eleven Inc., Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc./Circle K, The Coca-Cola Co., Anheuser-Busch, The Hershey Co. and PepsiCo Inc.
“In what was once a male-dominated business, women have made great strides and a positive impact on the convenience store industry and their companies. Our program was launched to recognize these exceptional women from all levels of the industry,” said Paula Lashinsky, Senior Vice President and Group Publisher, U.S. Grocery and Convenience, EnsembleIQ. “The program has evolved into a robust community that facilitates networking, amplifies important conversations and celebrates achievement. As we commemorate this remarkable milestone, we extend our appreciation to all of the winners, judges and sponsors who have been an integral part of the success of this program.
