A massive congratulations to our Founder & CEO, Nichola Quail, on winning a Bronze Stevie® for Thought Leader of the Year (Business Services) at The International Business Awards! Standing out among 3,800+ nominations from 78 nations is an incredible achievement.
This is Nichola’s second Stevie Award, following her 2024 Asia-Pacific win. It is recognition of her passion for the industry and ethos that high-quality insight should be accessible to companies and brands of all sizes, and that AI amplifies human insight, never replaces it.
Her award reflects Nichola’s commitment to:
- Democratising data: Publishing self-funded, proprietary Consumer Trends Reports in Australia (now in its 5th year) and the US, and soon to be released She Is AI Benchmark Report
- Global scale: Delivering research across 16+ markets in collaboration with 35+ senior independent researchers.
- Industry advocacy: Serving on the QRCA board and ‘She Is AI’ Global Advisory Board, AI Marketing Guild APAC founding member and Women4STEM chapter Lead
With over two decades of experience, she delivers game-changing data and insights to leading brands including Xero, Dentsu, The Trade Desk, Life360, and Panasonic.
Nichola has grown her company from a small start-up in 2020 to a global enterprise with 35+ researchers across Australia, Southeast Asia, North America, the UK, and Europe.
Congratulations Nichola!
