They can also share their stories in Women's Biz Publishing's anthologies and sell products through the company's shopping channel.
As well as being the founder and CEO of Women’s Biz Global, Annie is an international speaker, #1 best-selling author and mum of five, including two sets of twins. Her incredible journey has led her to champion gender equity and share her knowledge to help women achieve success on their terms.
- Outline the nominee's achievements since July 1 2021 that you wish to bring to the judges' attention (up to 250 words):
Total 243 words used.
During COVID, Annie identified that most of her clients quickly pivoted to small business ownership and needed to fast-track their growth, rather than follow the traditional path of slowly starting, growing and scaling a business. They didn't have the time or inclination to take a business course and implement strategies on their own - they wanted someone to take the reins and guide them through the process.
In response to this demand, Annie pivoted Women's Biz Global's offerings, from life and business coaching to brand architecture. Through her 12-month Branded for Success program, she looks at every client holistically and creates a tailored solution to help them grow quickly and sustainably. She guides her clients to become the authority in their niche and the brand everyone wants to work with.
To achieve this, Annie launched a suite of media offerings that provide her clients with a pathway to gain digital evidence of their expertise and grow their brand. Women's Biz's TV show, podcast, magazine, blog, online summits, publishing opportunities and shopping channel have already garnered an impressive following, with Annie's network now touching 35,000 people around the globe.
With clients in Sierra Leone, New York, the UK, and Fiji, Women's Biz Global makes business growth accessible to women around the world and gives them instant access to an enormous global community of like-minded women. Women's Biz Shopping even allows women in remote areas to sell their retail products at a low cost.

Since 2020, Women's Biz Global has expanded from being a coaching business with an annual revenue of approximately $70K to a multi-six-figure global brand architecture business. In three short years, Annie has moved from working as a CEO with a coaching side hustle to running a company with five interconnected business arms full-time.
Because Women's Biz Global's offerings are so vast and unique within the industry, thousands of women around the world have jumped on the opportunity to work with Annie. Since 2020, the company's network has grown exponentially, from approximately 50 to 35,000 people.
This has allowed Annie to reinvest in her business and continue to grow and scale Women's Biz Global's offerings. Annie's clients can now independently harness the company's five business arms or combine them to extend their reach and impact.
Annie has also formed strategic partnerships with companies such as LeadHERship Global, and even with coaching and publishing competitors including Karen McDermott and Jane Turner. While teaming up with the competition might seem counterintuitive, Annie strongly believes in the value of collaborating with other women to help each other grow and shine.
With further expansion and collaboration plans in the works, Women's Biz Global is just getting started. Annie has never felt more fulfilled and proud of the fact that she can finally practice what she preaches to her clients - living a life of her own design.
