Share:

Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI today announced the inaugural winners of its Most Inspirational Women of AI and Web3 awards, recognising leaders driving innovation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.
The awards program celebrates women nominated by the community for their meaningful contributions to the industries.
Among the honorees, nearly half (42%) are driving innovation in both AI and Web3, placing them at the forefront of two of the most transformative sectors in tech.
Further analysis of this year’s winners shows that 35.1% primarily focus on Web3, 22.9% concentrate on AI, and a growing segment is actively building expertise across both fields, signalling a rise of a new generation of cross-disciplinary technology leaders.
Leadership and entrepreneurship recognised
Leaders and entrepreneurs led the representation for technology leadership roles: 31.0% hold C-Suite positions across AI and Web3 companies, 15.3% are company founders, highlighting entrepreneurial impact.
The remaining represent senior leadership, advisory, and influential technical roles
“We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in how women are approaching technology leadership,” said Sandy Carter, founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI, Chief Business Officer of Unstoppable Domains, and best-selling author of “AI First, Human Always.”
“The data shows that the most inspirational women aren’t just specializing in one technology. They’re becoming fluent in the convergence of AI and Web3, positioning themselves as the architects of tomorrow’s digital infrastructure.”
Distinguished winners represent diverse leadership across industries
The inaugural list of Most Inspirational Women includes leaders spanning government, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Notable winners include Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, a pioneering advocate for blockchain policy; Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, driving smart city innovation; Mira Murati, former CTO and CEO of OpenAI; Fei Fei Li, recognised as the “Godmother of AI” for her foundational work in computer vision; Melanie Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO of Canva; Daniela Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic; Francesetta Valquez from AWS; Emilie Choi, former President and COO of Coinbase, and Roshni Nadar Malhotra, CEO of HCL, among other trailblazers.
Technology innovation leaders drive AI ethics and Web3 infrastructure
The winner list also includes pioneering technologists reshaping industry standards, including Dr Timnit Gebru, founder of Distributed AI Research and former Google Ethical AI co-lead, advocating for responsible AI development; and Kathleen Breitman, founder and CEO of Tezos, who has built critical blockchain infrastructure powering decentralized applications worldwide.
“These women are the leading architects of AI and Web3 helping drive the revolution,” said Sandy Carter, founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3 and AI and CBO of Unstoppable Domains.
“From Senator Lummis shaping cryptocurrency policy to Fei Fei Li advancing AI research, Mira Murati driving OpenAI’s development, and Melanie Perkins scaling Canva globally, these leaders demonstrate how women are driving both the technical innovation and policy frameworks that will define our digital future.”
Cross-technology leadership emerges as competitive advantage
The finding that 42% of inspirational women work across both AI and Web3 suggests a strategic advantage in understanding how these technologies complement each other.
This dual expertise positions female leaders to capitalise on emerging opportunities in areas such as: AI-powered decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), Blockchain-secured AI training data, Decentralized AI compute networks, Web3-native AI applications
Global partnership network amplifies impact
The recognition program is supported by a consortium of leading organizations dedicated to advancing women in emerging technologies, including Unstoppable Women of AI and Web3, Singularity Chile, CreateHER Fest, 100 Girls in Generative AI, Women in Blockchain Africa, and Hive3.
These partnerships ensure global reach and cultural diversity in identifying inspirational leaders across different regions and technology sectors.
“What makes this initiative powerful is our collaborative approach,” added Carter.
“By partnering with organizations like Singularity Chile, CreateHER Fest, 100 Girls in Generative AI, Women in Blockchain Africa, Unstoppable Domains and Hive3, we’re able to celebrate women in Silicon Valley, while also spotlighting the global ecosystem. These female innovators are building the infrastructure for tomorrow’s economy.”
Official announcement and recognition program
The complete list of Most Inspirational Women of Web3 & AI will be officially announced on December 2nd, 2025 at 9AM ET at www.unstoppablewow3.com, along with Unstoppable WoW3’s social channels on X and LinkedIn, and partner organisation channels.
Winners will be featured in the UWOW3/AI Virtual Tech House on Hive3, a global centre dedicated to connection, education, and collaboration across blockchain and AI.
The recognition program includes speaking opportunities at the UWOW3/AI Summit and networking events, including an optional breakfast at CES on January 6th.
Selection process
Women were first nominated by the community, and the full list of nominees was then analysed to determine this year’s honorees.
The review process assessed leadership positions, organizational impact, technical innovation, funding achievements, ecosystem contributions, and policy influence across both AI and Web3.
