Consulting magazine Achievement Awards Honors Standout Women Leaders

PETERBOROUGH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Even though women make up just about a quarter of the consulting profession, their collective impact is exponentially larger. Every day, all across the consulting profession, women are breaking barriers and blazing trails. In recognition of their extraordinary efforts, Consulting magazine will recognize the Women Leaders in Consulting at a celebratory dinner and gala at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, November 8.

“As the publication of the profession, Consulting is honored to recognize the women leaders in the profession and the firms they represent”

“As the publication of the profession, Consulting is honored to recognize the women leaders in the profession and the firms they represent,” says Joe Kornik, Publisher & Editor in Chief of Consulting. “This is our sixth year recognizing the Women Leaders in Consulting. This year, we’ve received more than 400 nominations, and the quality and accomplishments of the winners get more impressive every year.”
