2019 is the year that keeps on giving! Coming on the heels of the year that saw the Maven Collective Marketing team win a variety of marketing, content, and web design awards, we pleased and excited to announce one more nomination. Our founder and principal, Erica Haksonson has been named as a finalist for two Databird Female Executive of the Year Awards!
Held by Databird Business Journal, the Databird Databird Female Executive of the Year awards are dedicated to honouring the brightest female minds from around the world. The awards were created to recognize the female executives who have shown outstanding leadership and significant contributions in their career over the past year. The criteria for consideration are tangible results and goals achieved.
Erica is a finalist for two awards: Top Small Business Female Executive (1-25 Employees) as well as the Rising Star Award, honouring female executives under 40.
The awards will be handed out March 12th, 2020, with the winners chosen by a jury made up of the most creative minds, business influencers, and journalists.
“It is an amazing honour just to be nominated for a Databird Female Executive of the Year Award. I am so proud to be a finalist for this award, especially alongside such an inspiring group of women making a mark in their fields,” Erica shares. “This recognition is a reflection not only of my work personally, but of everything the whole team has been building at Maven Collective Marketing.”
Databird Business Journal focuses on women’s empowerment with a mission of creating a just and sustainable world. They see that business holds significant, untapped potential to contribute to women’s advancement and stands to benefit tremendously by ensuring women are empowered. Last year, female founders received just 2.2 percent of total global venture capital funding, and only 17 percent of all startups have at least one female founder, despite the fact that gender diversity on executive teams correlates with greater profitability and value creation. Databird was built to identify local industry experts around the world with a machine intelligence platform.
