The 2026 Paris honorees.
Eight women, eight categories, one evening in Paris on October 3, 2026. Each chosen by the Global Leadership Jury — and each proof that leadership has no borders.
Why Paris is the right stage.
After two landmark ceremonies in San Francisco and Los Angeles, ISOUL’s Women Leadership Award takes its most ambitious step yet — to one of the world’s most iconic cities, where vision, art, and ambition converge.
Paris isn’t just a backdrop. It’s a declaration that ISOUL’s recognition of women’s leadership belongs on the world stage — not just in Silicon Valley, but wherever excellence in leadership exists. For the first time, the award opens its doors to European leaders, connecting women from France, the EU, and global hubs with ISOUL’s 29-country network.
Eight categories. A Global Leadership Jury of 29 accomplished women. One evening on October 3, 2026 that crowned eight winners in the City of Light.
“Paris is proof that women’s leadership has no borders. This is where the next chapter of ISOUL’s global recognition begins — and it starts with an application, not an invitation.”
— Jane Milovanova, Founder & CEO, ISOUL

The jury behind every decision.
29 women — founders, investors, lawyers, journalists and designers from Europe, the Gulf, Central Asia and the US — who read every application, weighed the evidence and held one bar across all eight categories.
A room that already has a soul.
Conservatoire Rachmaninoff · 26 avenue de New York, 75016 Paris.
We didn’t want a ballroom for this. We wanted a room that already had history in its walls, so the ceremony sits inside Conservatoire Rachmaninoff, a three-floor, 600m² building steps from the Seine. Portraits of Rachmaninoff, Chaliapin, and Serge Lifar still hang in the halls, next to engravings from Tsarist Russia. Students rehearse here on weekday afternoons — it’s a living conservatory, not a museum.
The ceremony itself unfolds in the Grande Salle de Concert: white walls, red velvet curtains, one crystal chandelier, two grand pianos, and a window that frames the Eiffel Tower like it was placed there on purpose. Up to 120 guests, close enough to see every face when a winner’s name is called.

Paris continues a story that started in San Francisco and grew in Los Angeles — two ceremonies, fourteen winners, and a track record you can see for yourself.
