Remarkable Womenomics Award Recipients Announced
At Above & Beyond, we believe in spotlighting the leaders who are shaping the workplaces and societies of tomorrow. At the Womenomics Global Summit on the 3rd of June at the Royal Danish Opera, we look forward to honouring four outstanding women whose work exemplifies the power of inclusive leadership.
“In times like these, it is more important than ever to promote inclusion, representation, and ethical leadership. For the 11th consecutive year, we are hosting Womenomics to stand united with our partners, share knowledge, and turn words into action,” says Tine Arentsen Willumsen, Founder and CEO of Above & Beyond Group. She continues: “Inclusive leadership is about creating environments where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, which is essential for innovation and economic success in business. With the Womenomics Global Summit and our awards, we aim to spotlight the international leaders and experts who can see the potential in today’s major challenges and turn them into sustainable solutions and lasting cultural change in the workplaces of the future.”
The three Womenomics 2025 Awards go to:
Jenny Lay-Flurrie (USA) will be honoured with The Womenomics Inclusion Award 2025, acknowledging her significant impact as Chief Accessibility Officer at Microsoft, where she has driven initiatives to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of Microsoft’s products and services, and created greater opportunities for people with disabilities and neurodiversity – at Microsoft and worldwide.
Edda Sif Pind Aradóttir (Iceland) will receive The Womenomics Climate Award 2025, celebrating her impressive career within renewable energy as well as carbon capture and storage, contributing to climate recovery through innovative technology. Reducing CO₂ levels in the atmosphere is considered one of the main climate challenges, and this is the work she spear-heads as the CEO of Carbfix.
Nora Bavey (Sweden) and Thea Messel (Denmark) will be presented with The Womenomics Leadership Award 2025, acknowledging their impressive work in creating ‘Unconventional Ventures’, the first European impact fund to invest solely in impact technology and diverse founders and leadership teams. The award honors their contribution to addressing the marked disparity in venture capital and demonstrating the financial opportunities and lasting impact of diversity.
The Womenomics Global Summit will be held on the 3rd of June at The Royal Danish Opera with the theme, ‘Inclusive Leadership – Shaping Sustainable Workplaces’, which is also reflected in the program and the selection of this year’s Womenomics Award recipients.
