CEO Letter March 2025

By: Nandini Sukumar, CEO, The WFE Mar 2025

Welcome to the WFE Women Leaders 2025 edition of Focus. This year marks the fifth anniversary of this important initiative, and we are proud to celebrate the talented women who are shaping the future of our industry.

This year, we received many nominations from inspirational women who are redefining leadership across emerging and developed markets. All the nominees are exceptional and talented leaders — motivational, insightful, diligent, adaptable, compassionate and driven by determination, resilience and grit.

To the 20 women who made this year’s list — congratulations. The Selection Committee faced a tough decision, and to those who were not selected this time, we encourage you to put yourselves forward again next year. Your contributions to our industry are invaluable and we recognise your immense potential.

Thanks and see you in April for our WFEClear Special edition. We will be highlighting many of the prolific speakers at our conference which will be hosted by KRX in Seoul from 1-3 April.
