In addition, Veenstra’s leadership in steering the company through its public listing, managing private equity ownership, and advancing its financial planning and analysis function has not only elevated Euna Solutions’ leadership position in the industry, but also fostered a culture of unity and collaboration across the organization. 

The Globee Awards for Women in Business is a prestigious awards program that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of women in all industries worldwide. Companies and organizations can nominate the accomplishments of their women employees, women business owners can submit their own achievements or nominate their staff, and women who have made significant strides in their careers can self-nominate. Open to women professionals and leaders from every field and region, this program highlights the dedication, innovation, and leadership that drive positive change in the global business landscape. 

“We are delighted to honor the achievements of women in business and professionals from all over the world who are setting new standards of excellence,” said San Madan, president of the Globee Awards. “These winners exemplify the values of leadership, innovation, and commitment to advancing women in the business world. Congratulations to all on this well-deserved recognition.”

For the “Woman Executive of the Year – Technology Products and Services” category, Veenstra’s entry was reviewed and scored by 203 judges whose comments highlight her leadership style as having “strategic foresight and resilience,” as well as “steady guidance and adaptability.”
