As Finalists, Tier4 Group and Robinson will receive Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award placements. The final placements will be announced during the 2026 awards ceremony in New York City on November 16.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor the achievements of women executives, entrepreneurs, employees, and the companies they run worldwide. The Stevie Award has been hailed as the world’s premier business award.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards will be presented to Finalists at a ceremony in New York City on November 16, where Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Grand Winner placements will be announced.

More than 400 women and their guests from around the world are expected to attend the presentations, which will be broadcast live. More than 1,500 entries from organizations and individuals in 56 nations and territories were submitted this year across more than 300 categories, including Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Company of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women, and Women Run Workplace of the Year.

The dual recognition highlights Tier4 Group’s continued growth as a woman-owned technology talent and executive search partner, as well as Robinson’s leadership in building an organization centered on innovation, strong relationships, and accountability. By combining advanced recruitment technology with a highly personalized approach, Tier4 Group connects organizations with specialized technology professionals and helps clients execute critical business and technology initiatives.

“At Tier4 Group, we talk a lot about being Uncommon. On Purpose,” said Betsy Robinson, CEO of Tier4 Group. “That means being intentional about the company we’re building, the way we show up for our clients and our people, and being willing to do things differently when there’s a better way. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has built together, and to have that recognized by the Stevie Awards alongside women-led companies from around the world makes this one especially meaningful.”

Tier4 Group’s nomination for Fastest Growing Women-Owned or Led Company of the Year recognizes the company’s sustained expansion and continued evolution of its technology talent, professional services, and executive search capabilities. The company has also expanded its market reach through Retained, its executive search division, and the recent acquisition of Sales Talent Group, an executive search firm focused exclusively on go-to-market talent.

Robinson’s nomination for Best Female CEO of the Year recognizes her leadership in growing Tier4 Group while advancing a people-centered approach to technology recruitment and professional services. Under her direction, the organization emphasizes innovation, diversity, and stronger connections between exceptional talent and employers.

“Leadership has never been more challenging than it is in today's technology-driven landscape,” said Robert Bouchard, CDO of Tier4 Group. “Betsy leads with a relentless vision and grace that is simply unparalleled. She brings balance and unwavering support that's built a dedicated, highly productive, and driven organization.”

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award Finalists were determined based on the average scores of more than 200 business professionals worldwide serving across seven judging committees.

Maggie Miller, President of the Stevie Awards, said, “As the Stevie Awards for Women in Business marks its 23rd year, we continue to be impressed by the remarkable accomplishments represented among the nominations. It is especially rewarding to see the significance a Stevie Award holds for women and the recognition it brings to their achievements, careers, and organizations. We congratulate all of this year’s finalists and look forward to revealing the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award placements on November 16.”
