Exclusive: TBBW announces 2025 Women Who Win Award finalists (VIDEO)(PHOTOS)

Tampa Bay Business and Wealth has announced the finalists for its 2025 Women Who Win Awards. (Scroll down for individual slides)

Women Who Win is a unique awards program, created by TBBW Magazine, to recognize distinguished women leaders whose dedication to their industries and communities deserves recognition. Judges looked at business and professional success, community involvement and mentorship, as pillars in their judging.

Nominations are made by the Tampa Bay community and judging is held by an outside panel. In addition, for all TBBW Awards programs, individual’s names will be omitted from nomination packets, for judging purposes. This is an effort from TBBW to ensure that award finalists and winners are chosen, purely, on merit.

This year’s Women Who Win judges included Lennise Germany, chief executive officer and founder of Livy O’s (Women Who Win winner 2024), Blake Guthrie, director of community partnerships, ReliaQuest Bowl (Philanthropists of the Year Finalist 2022), Rita Lowman, board of directors for Caldwell Trust and Encore Bank, owner and CEO of Lowman Holdings (Apogee Finalist 2021) and Brooke Mirenda, CEO of SEDCO (Women Who Win Winner 2024).

An awards program will recognize finalists with a cocktail reception and gala, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa, at 6 p.m., May 2.

Presenting sponsors for the event are Broadstaff, Morgan Auto Group and TD Bank. Our nonprofit partner is Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside. Women Who Win is sponsored by the International Diamond Center.

Congratulations! Meet the 2025 finalists!
