The award was presented during the WISE virtual annual meeting.

WISE’s board chair Jen Linke of Federated Group also credited Davies with bringing women together from across the industry and forming the basis of WISE. Nine others also received WISE’s annual Top Women in Store Brands award, and the winners were featured in the latest issue of Store Brands magazine.
