"Mercedes-Benz is proud to partner with WXN to celebrate female achievement and recognize the next generation of female visionaries," says Aubert. "Since 1888, when Bertha Benz was the first person to road test the Patent Motor Car, women have always played a role in Mercedes-Benz's story. When Bertha masterminded and executed this first road test – proving the capability and sustainability of the automobile – she demonstrated vision, creativity and ambition. As an organization we're proud to recognize and celebrate women who demonstrate these qualities and who continue to inspire us today."

"For 16 years, the Top 100 Awards has served as a great reminder of the importance of showcasing female leaders," says Sherri Stevens, CEO of PhaseNyne, parent company of Women's Executive Network, Canadian Board Diversity Council and SRG. "These initiatives help to drive positive change and progress which assists to ensure that gender diversity and equity is achieved in all walks of life. We're proud to be partnering with Mercedes-Benz to continue striving for positive change together."

About the Mercedes-Benz Emerging Leaders Award

The Emerging Leaders category recognizes high-potential women between the ages of 30 and 40 who have a proven passion for learning and innovation, and who have shown great potential or have been targeted for leadership positions in their fields. Nominees are judged on the following criteria:

  • Vision and Leadership: How has the Nominee demonstrated clear vision and strong leadership at her current organization and throughout her career?

  • Authenticity: How does the Nominee demonstrate integrity and purpose, inspire her colleagues' trust, and drive engagement within her organization?

  • Innovative Thinking: How does the Nominee consistently employ creative problem-solving in order to achieve goals, improve outcomes, and achieve seemingly impossible tasks? Does she approach challenges with positivity and as an opportunity to learn?

About the Top 100 Awards

The Top 100 Awards span the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, with recipients selected by an independent advisory board. To date, 1004 powerful women have been given this prestigious award. The list of Award Winners is revealed the day prior to the Leadership Summit and Awards Gala, which will take place Thursday, November 22, 2018.
