About the WeQual Awards

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 within the world’s largest companies.

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

Benefits of Applying for the WeQual Awards

Connect with like-minded women within a supportive global community that will enrich your professional network and influence.

Expanded Peer Network

All Finalists receive lifetime complimentary membership to WeQual Executives. WeQual Executives is the only worldwide network to connect and support women at or one level below the group Executive Committee.

Increase confidence and visibility, and accelerate progression through a truly career-changing experience.

Increased Visibility

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

Complete an assessment which reflects on leadership achievements. The top 24 applications are shortlisted for an interview.

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. WeQual founder, Katie Litchfield, shares the CEO’s insights with each Finalist.

"I see a future where gender equality discussions are no longer needed ... where 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."
