NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders of Denver for 2023. Denver, renowned as the Mile High City for its precise elevation of one mile above sea level, functions as the hub for politics, culture, and economy in Colorado. With a population exceeding 700,000, Denver has gained recognition in recent times as a prime location for emerging businesses. The city boasts over 100 of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, as highlighted in the 2023 Inc. 5000 list. Noteworthy is Denver’s status as the headquarters for five Fortune 500 companies, including VF, DaVita, and Newmont.

Leading the charge in this climbing economy are numerous women featured in this year’s awards. These adept executives hold esteemed positions at some of the nation’s renowned organizations, such as Deloitte, Workday, Major League Baseball, and Krispy Kreme. We applaud each of them for their exceptional leadership, innovative approaches, and noteworthy contributions to their respective industries. Furthermore, we acknowledge and value the inspiration and motivation they provide to fellow women, fostering an environment that encourages them to pursue leadership roles.

This year’s recipients include Andrea Pearson, a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in the industry, currently serving as the Chief Growth Officer at DispatchHealth. Prior to her current role, Pearson spent a decade in various marketing and product leadership positions, notably as the General Manager of Mapquest.com. Her contributions were instrumental in elevating the service’s monthly visitors from 15 million to over 80 million. Also awarded is Annie Baccary, the Associate VP for Development and Business Operations of the University of Colorado. Baccary joined the CU System Advancement team in 2014, having started her career on Wall Street, working for Credit Suisse’s Private Fund Group, which raised $35 billion in capital for private equity and hedge funds during her tenure.
