TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2021 –
The 2021 Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award Winners list was released by Women’s Executive Network along with their sponsors today, recognizing 105 outstanding women across Canada who advocate for workforce diversity and inspire tomorrow’s leaders.
Anna Sinclair, CEO & Founder of Total Mom Inc was named among those powerful women in the BMO entrepreneurs category.
"I started Total Mom Inc in a dark basement with a dream and a baby on the hip. After losing a business partner, sleepless nights and a loyal husband helping me bootstrap, I never thought that this journey would be this profound. My vision was to create the ultimate support system for moms to navigate life and career. What started out as an events company which produced Canada’s
largest holistic festival for moms called The Total Mom Show, has ignited a movement & community that inspires businesses to turn back the focus to mom" Says Anna Sinclair- Founder & CEO Total Mom Inc.
“When I look at this year’s winners, I see a group of radically authentic women who remind us all of what it means to stand up with courage, for themselves and those around them,” said Sherri Stevens, Owner and CEO of WXN.
“By recognizing and celebrating the strength, fearlessness, resilience and heart these women demonstrate, we can inspire more of the same in generations to come.”
"KPMG proudly stands with WXN as they champion the development, advancement and recognition of women across Canada," said Elio Luongo, CEO and Senior Partner, KPMG in Canada. "We celebrate the courageous, authentic women who share their strength and diverse perspectives. Together we can drive positive change and amplify the incredible achievement of women everywhere.”
“Mercedes-Benz is pleased to continue its long history of celebrating high-achieving women through its ongoing partnership with WXN,” says Eva Wiese, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada. “Each Top 100 Awards winner exemplifies the vision and drive required to ensure Canada’s long-term success.
