Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Missouri for 2024
NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Missouri for 2024. While Missouri’s economy is traditionally rooted in agriculture and farmland—producing soybeans, corn, rice, cotton, and sorghum—the state’s economic landscape is far more diverse. The women leaders of Missouri are at the forefront of prominent industries such as steel, electronics, and automotive manufacturing, as well as healthcare, education, and financial services, driving innovation and growth across the Show Me state.
Among this year’s honorees is Deidra Thomas-Murray, an esteemed leader in education. As Director of Students in Transition and Foster Care Liaison at Saint Louis Public Schools, Thomas-Murray is dedicated to upholding students’ educational rights and oversees critical services for homeless and foster care youth.
Next, we congratulate financial and marketing executive Tanisha Montgomery, Vice President of Marketing Strategic Initiatives and Chief of Staff to the Chief Marketing Officer for one of Synchrony’s largest platforms, Home and Auto. Montgomery has received executive-level recognition for her work towards an estimated growth initiative of $800 million in digital products and legacy enhancements for one of Synchrony’s largest client partners.
Finally, we recognize the achievements of Lisa Stehno-Bittel, a healthcare and technology executive with nearly three decades of experience. As President and Co-Founder of Likarda, a biotech company developing groundbreaking technologies to transform the delivery and optimization of cell therapies, Stehno-Bittel has witnessed firsthand the profound impact of healthcare innovations on patient recovery. For over 12 years, she and the Likarda team have been at the forefront of these innovations.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders of Missouri for 2024.
