Impactful Women in Business, 2026
ON THE COVER
Leadership Laboratory
Jamie McKinney is a leadership coach, speaker, and the creator of Leadership Laboratory, a learning space designed to help women lead with confidence, clarity, and executive presence, especially in male-dominated and technical environments. Her work is deeply shaped by her own professional journey and the early moments in her career when she knew she had strong ideas but felt unsure about how her voice would be received.
Sidney Madison Prescott is the Founder & CEO of MIRROR | MIRROR™, an AI-powered fashion-tech ecosystem built at the intersection of technology, identity, and ethics. Her professional journey has never followed a single straight path. She began her career studying philosophy, with a deep focus on justice, autonomy, and how systems shape human lives.
Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI)
Claudia Krywiak believes innovation is not just about creating something new, but about making a real difference in the world. As President and CEO of the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), she has dedicated her career to turning ideas into impact and helping Ontario stand out as a global hub for innovation. Since joining OCI in 2011, Claudia has been at the forefront of building partnerships that accelerate the development, commercialization, and adoption of new technologies.
Elite Vision Media
Esmeralda Baez is a woman with vision, courage, and heart. Her journey into business began from a deep desire to close the gaps she saw in representation. She noticed that many people, especially women and minorities, lacked opportunities to grow and succeed. Instead of waiting for change, she decided to become the change.
Meyer-Reumann & Partners
Elena Schildgen’s journey is one of resilience, vision, and the courage to embrace new beginnings. Originally from Germany, Elena has called Dubai home for the past 35 years. Last year, she officially became an Emirati national, a milestone that symbolizes her deep connection with the country she has built her life and career in.
