The audacious ones, the innovative transformational female leaders
the game changers – the unstoppable ones.
Now in its 14th year, the Novi (formerly Forward Ladies) Leadership Summit and Awards honours the impact of female leadership, innovation and entrepreneurism in business.
We continue to use our platform to showcase the achievements of women breaking barriers across the public and private sectors, giving them the recognition and visibility, they need to inspire the next generation of leaders.
