The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.
Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on Friday, November 13. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S.A and several other countries are expected to attend. The event will be broadcast on Livestream via the Stevie Awards’ Facebook page from 7:30 pm ET, and the red carpet pre-show will air on the Stevie Awards’ Periscope from 6:00 pm ET.
More than 1,400 entries were submitted this year for consideration in more than 90 categories, including Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Company of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women and Women-Run Workplace of the Year.
Driven by a personal painpoint, Shireen recognized a need for a technology that helps millions of people who suffer from food sensitivities stay happy and healthy. With just a rough prototype and one co-founder in 2013, she moved the company to San Francisco to grow the business. In just one year, Shireen has managed to demonstrate the market need, prove the technology and scale it to manufacturability - leading to the patented technology, Nima, that is going on sale this month.

We are lucky to have Shireen as one of our fearless leaders and are continually inspired by her passion and drive to bring Nima to the people who need it.
