  • I Edition of the Transformational Women Leaders Awards (MLT)
  • Recognition of Excellence: this exclusive event will award women leaders in 6 categories who are implementing disruptive strategies and innovative practices to create happier and more productive work environments.

By CELIS / INCAE. In an unprecedented event, Awards of Happiness® is pleased to announce its collaboration with INCAE Business School and Estrategia & Negocios Magazine to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Transformational Women Leaders in industry and business in Central America.

The winners of this first edition have been selected for their professional commitment, for their comprehensive assessment and commitment to conscious capitalism, for their notable contribution to the creation of happier and more productive work environments, for their relentless pursuit of the symbiosis between professional challenges and family reconciliation, and for their desire for constant innovation and sustainable footprint.

"Women leaders who transform are the ones who make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of families. Without a doubt, these women make us all better and live happier lives. We are thrilled that this is the first of many," says Lesslie Davidovich, CCO of Awards of Happiness.

The "Women Transformational Leaders Award" event is proud to present several categories that reflect the many facets of women's leadership in business:

  • MLT Innovation and Excellence: rewarding women who have introduced revolutionary changes and exceptional practices in their organizations.
  • MLT Happiness: recognizing leaders who have created extraordinarily positive and happy work environments.
  • MLT Purpose: highlighting women who have been able to align business objectives with a sense of purpose and integral mission.
  • MLT Sustainability: for leaders who have promoted sustainability and environmental responsibility in their business strategies.
  • MLT Economic Empowerment: honoring women who have contributed significantly to the economic empowerment of other women and communities.
  • MLT Emprendedora: celebrating women who have started and developed their own businesses, demonstrating an exceptional entrepreneurial spirit.

In the words of Pedro Galván, CEO of Awards of Happiness, it is fair and necessary to recognize the leaders in the region who have that transformational spirit that makes them unique. "For us, continuing to grow with INCAE is fundamental to achieve the perfect union between the best training and our global recognitions in organizational happiness," he adds.

For Camelia Ilie, Dean of Strategy and Institutional Affairs and Chair of the Center for Inclusive and Sustainable Leadership at INCAE Business School, "these awards seek to give visibility to the transformative leadership of women with impact on society, organizations and new generations. We hope that the stories of the awarded women will serve as a source of inspiration for future leaders to contribute to the sustainable development of our organizations and society."

Ruth Marie Canahuati Director of Audience Engagement of GRUPO OPSA and Estrategia & Negocios Magazine, highlighted that since its foundation in 1999, Estrategia & Negocios Magazine set out to make visible the leadership of women in the economic and social sphere of Central America. "In 2017, the Special and Event Mujeres Desafiantes was born, which in 8 years has projected more than 400 Central American women leaders who are entrepreneurs, innovators, pioneers, public officials, scientists, in the orange economy, women without limits and new generation. The alliance with AoH and INCAE to recognize the Mujeres Líderes Transformadoras 2024, is a great step to continue building a Central America with equity".
