Alumna of the Year 2024

The winners in the Alumna of the Year 2024 awards have been selected and you can find out more below.

The GDST alumnae network has over 100,000 members and spans the world in every professional sector. We recognise all of their many varied achievements and the Alumna of the Year award is a chance to celebrate the work of one particular alum every year. In 2022, we decided to award a second accolade: the GDST Trailblazer Award – given to an alumna who is achieving outstanding early acclaim in her career.
