We have a lot to celebrate when it comes to Amazing Women in eCommerce 2022. We received more than 3,000 nominations from across the eCommerce industry in five categories: Rising Star, Leader, Founder, Innovator, and Marketer. And with a $5 donation for every nomination to Girls Inc., we were able to raise well over $15,000, making this our most successful nomination period to date!
Of the nominations we received, more than 200 were for women at Yotpo — nominated by our partners, customers, and co-workers. We wanted to share some of the nominees because we work with these women every day and think they’re pretty amazing, too. (Just because we’re biased doesn’t mean it’s not true. 😊)
We are in the process of selecting the 2022 AWIE Honorees now and will be announcing them in March, but in the meantime, here are some Amazing Women @ Yotpo.

And a strong second mention to frank body: they have a strong online persona in frank, absolutely nailing their marketing and are constantly supporting positive movements for women.

Where are you from originally, and where are you based now? Born and raised in NYC! I am now based in Boerum Hill in Brooklyn. Fun fact: my middle name is Sofi, named after the location of my parents’ first apartment, South of Flatiron.
What’s an eCommerce brand you admire? Glossier! Literally created millennial branding and completely modernized the beauty industry. Great product. Woman founder and CEO. The product is simple and effective with the best packaging. They don’t strive for 1000 products, but instead products that their community wants. Glossier also makes you want to go into a retail store and engage with the product firsthand. Boy Brow forever!
What do you geek out over? This will be a random list, but here you go: metro systems (a good subway/transportation system is fascinating — Medellin has the best one I’ve seen to date), urban design/architecture, an efficient process (those who work with me will understand), and a well-organized space (sparks joy!).
