InspiringFifty 2025: Jennifer Schivas named
Jennifer Schivas: “It’s a real honour to be named alongside such inspiring women.”

InspiringFifty UK was created to shift the dial on equity in tech. In partnership with Informa and Founders Forum Group, they are spotlighting fifty women who they say are leading the way – because now, more than ever, we need to back women founders and leaders.

The organisers said: “These changemakers are driving innovation, shaping the future, and making a powerful impact across the UK tech ecosystem. Together, they reflect the extraordinary depth and breadth of female talent transforming our industry.”

“It’s a real honour to be named alongside such inspiring women,” remarked Jennifer Schivas, CEO, 67 Bricks. “There are so many brilliant women working in the technology industry, and it’s always fantastic to take a moment to celebrate our collective achievements.”

The winners will be celebrated throughout London Tech Week, and started with a special reception on 9th June.

Laura Stebbing, CEO EQL:HER said: “I am proud to introduce the 2025 InspiringFifty United Kingdom winners - fifty remarkable women who are leading innovation, building inclusive teams, and shaping the future of UK tech. At a time when the pace of progress for women is under pressure around the world, their achievements shine even brighter. These trailblazers are founders, investors, leaders, and change-makers driving real impact - not just within their companies, but across the entire ecosystem. Their stories are a powerful reminder that diversity isn’t a box to tick- it’s a catalyst for better ideas, stronger businesses, and faster innovation. Progress isn’t inevitable - it’s the result of deliberate choices and bold leadership. As we celebrate this year’s winners, we hope their leadership will spark inspiration, fuel ambition, and pave the way for many more to follow.”
