Recognizing Bold Leadership, Inclusive Innovation, and Equitable Impact in Data and AI

Colonia, NJ, USA — World Leaders in Data and AI (WLDA) is honored to announce the finalists for the 2025 WLDA Awards — a celebration of leaders and organizations shaping a more equitable digital future. The winners will be revealed on November 7, 2025, at the FiDi Banking Hall in New York City, during the highly anticipated WLDA Awards Gala.

The WLDA Awards honor leaders who are transforming data and AI into engines of inclusion, opportunity, and long-term impact. This year’s finalists reflect what’s possible when leadership is values-driven, when systems are designed for equity, and when innovation serves all — not just a few.

“WLDA was created to elevate women shaping the future of data and AI,” said Asha Saxena, Founder & CEO of WLDA. “And over time, we’ve seen an entire ecosystem rise — women, men, and organizations — committed to building a digital world rooted in fairness, access, and shared leadership.”

The 2025 WLDA Awards Gala will highlight categories that celebrate innovation, motivation, breakthrough talent, allyship, and visionary leadership. This year, WLDA continues its commitment to spotlight both women and allies — including men and companies — who are actively driving parity across the data and AI space.

Join us in New York City on November 7 to honor the individuals and organizations making inclusive innovation a reality.
