Across industries, the influence of women in leadership is becoming increasingly visible. Within our own network and collaborations at VMV.STUDIO, we have had the opportunity to work alongside several female founders and leaders who are shaping their respective industries.


Their leadership reflects the broader shift happening across business today, where strategic thinking, clarity of vision and long-term leadership are driving innovation and growth.


Here are a few examples of women in leadership building and scaling businesses today.

Kait Dinunzio

Managing Director - Pyxis Advisory


Kait Dinunzio operates at the level where organisations face their most complex transitions. As Managing Director at Pyxis Advisory, she works alongside leadership teams navigating organisational change, M&A integration and moments where companies are redefining how they operate and grow.


What stands out when spending time with Kait is the combination of sharp strategic thinking and a deeply human approach to leadership. She brings clarity to complicated situations and has the kind of presence that naturally draws people in. Kait is someone who commands respect without ego - thoughtful, direct and genuinely empowering to the people around her.

Dr Anisha Radia

Co-Founder - Bodylines


Dr Anisha Radia balances two incredibly demanding worlds. Alongside her work as an intensive care doctor in London, she co-founded Bodylines - a skincare and aesthetics business built around professionalism, trust and patient care.


Working with Dr Anisha is always a joy. She has a clear vision for her business and an instinctive understanding of the importance of brand and reputation. What makes her truly remarkable, though, is her kindness. Even after long hospital shifts, she brings warmth, generosity and calm leadership to every conversation.

Mandy Simpson

Co-Founder & Brand Director - Simpson & Partners


Mandy Simpson is the co-founder and Brand Director of Simpson & Partners, a British EV charging company built around thoughtful design and long-term engineering quality. Her background in fashion and product design has shaped a perspective where aesthetics, functionality and sustainability work hand in hand.


We began working with Mandy in 2022 and from the beginning her energy and passion for design have been infectious. She brings a clear creative vision to everything she does and isn’t afraid to challenge expectations in an industry that can sometimes feel predictable. Mandy’s leadership is bold, optimistic and driven by a genuine desire to make things better.

Ingrid Chavez

Founder - Casañor


Ingrid Chavez is the founder and artist behind Casañor, creating jewellery that reflects her connection to craft, colour and cultural memory. Each piece is designed and made by her own hand, drawing on traditional techniques and personal heritage to create work that feels both expressive and deeply considered.


Working with Ingrid is genuinely dreamy. Her artistry is beautiful and her vision for Casañor is incredibly clear. What makes the partnership so special is the trust she places in the creative process - allowing us to help bring her ideas to life while staying true to the soul of the brand.











The Importance of Women in Leadership Today


Women’s History Month offers a moment to recognise the leaders shaping industries today, but it also reminds us that progress happens through the work people do every day.


The women we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with - Kait, Dr Anisha, Mandy and Ingrid - lead in very different sectors, from corporate transformation and healthcare to product design and craft entrepreneurship. What connects them is clarity of purpose, resilience and a deep commitment to the work they build.


Leadership rarely looks the same across industries, but the impact is always visible. As more women continue to lead organisations, launch businesses and reshape industries, their influence will continue to define how modern companies grow, communicate and innovate.


Women in leadership are not simply part of the future of business - they are already shaping it.
