According to The Software Report: The SaaS market has grown markedly over the past year as businesses across sectors and geographies increasingly seek out unique solutions to aid in their digital transformations. Select software companies have stood out in this competitive market, aided in large part by the women leaders that comprise this year's awards list. These exceptional executives have played significant roles, which in many cases have led to profound results.

Beyond their professional achievements, these women have served as role models for the next generation of leaders seeking to enter and succeed in the tech sector. Their representation at leading software companies combined with the inclusiveness and positivity they espouse, encourages other women to boldly compete in the historically male-dominated software space.
