"Founded in tribute to Madame Clicquot - who took over the Champagne house at 27 and defied the conventions of her era - the programme recognises women who combine commercial success with bold, transformative leadership."
"Since taking the helm, MacKenzie has overseen a nationwide refurbishment programme, introduced new concepts including the PizzaExpress Pod, and expanded the brand both domestically and internationally. Under her leadership, the company has achieved record customer satisfaction levels and launched PX Records, its own record label, while raising more than £1m for charity."
"Over three decades, she has grown the MOBO Awards from a niche celebration into a globally recognised cultural platform. In recent years she launched House of MOBO in South London and introduced MOBOLISE, a UK-first initiative aimed at equipping 100,000 Black talents with AI literacy and career development opportunities."
The Veuve Clicquot Bold Awards, now in their 54th year, recognize women in business who demonstrate both commercial achievement and bold, transformative leadership. The awards are divided into two categories: the Bold Woman Award for established leaders and the Bold Future Award for emerging entrepreneurs. This year's finalists include Paula MacKenzie, CEO of PizzaExpress, who has implemented nationwide refurbishment programs and expanded the brand internationally while achieving record customer satisfaction. Kanya King CBE, founder of the MOBO Awards, has grown the organization into a globally recognized cultural platform over three decades and launched MOBOLISE to provide AI literacy training. Smruti Sriram OBE, CEO of Bags of Ethics, has positioned the company as a global leader in sustainable reusable packaging while maintaining an 80% female workforce.
