Each jury panel consists of five members who bring diverse viewpoints and varied experiences to the process. A jury member may be a(n)

• impact-driven entrepreneur.

• Cartier Women's Initiative fellow from a prior edition.

• successful impact investor, gender-lens investor, or venture philanthropist.

As a former fellow and now a jury member for the Cartier Women’s Initiative, I know that their structure, support and wider network are completely aligned with the mission and goals of a social enterprise.
