World-class Women Executives Shortlisted in WeQual Asia-Pacific Awards for Potential C-suite Leaders


Twenty-four female executives have been recognised by the WeQual Awards (https://wequal.com/awards) for their outstanding contribution to business from some of the biggest companies in the Asia-Pacific region. WeQual's mission is to tackle the slow progress in appointing women to executive positions.

Since its creation, more than 35% of the winners of WeQual Awards ? in the UK, EMEA and The Americas ? have been promoted to the Executive Committees of major global companies.

The 24 executives will become members of the WeQual Club, joining the existing 120 members who are one below ? or already on ? the Executive Committee. The winners in each category are announced in September 2021.
