Shining a Spotlight on Female Leadership

WeQual Founder, Katie Litchfield, designed the WeQual Awards to celebrate and create visibility for women leaders, and accelerate gender equality at the top of the world’s largest companies.

The WeQual Awards are the only awards for senior executive women, who are currently reporting to their global Executive Committee. Join them to discover how women leaders are breaking barriers and showcasing their remarkable talent.

Benefits of Applying for the WeQual Awards

Increased Visibility

The WeQual Awards elevates the profiles of senior executive women, enhancing their visibility across their global organization and beyond. 36% of WeQual Awards winners have either been promoted or now sit on an Executive Committee.

Expand your Peer Network

All finalists receive lifetime complimentary membership to WeQual Executive, worth $3500/year. WeQual Executive is the only worldwide network to connect and support women at, or one level below, the group Executive Committee.

Executive Interview

Finalists are interviewed by one of eight global CEOs to assess readiness for the ExCo; each industry leader then decides their category winner. The CEO’s insights are shared with the finalists in a personal call with WeQual founder, Katie Litchfield.

"I see a future where gender equality discussions are no longer needed ... where 50/50 gender balance on Executive Committees is the standard. Achieving this goal is possible. We support women to increase their visibility to ensure they get the opportunities they deserve."
