Dr. Bea Bakshi, founding father of U.K.-based cancer prevention group C the Signs, won the Young Leader Award last night at a ceremony in Latest York City.

Led by the North America chapter of Red Club x Cartier, the 2023 Young Leader Award Ceremony is an annual event which goals to offer young entrepreneurial leaders with support to grow their businesses and amplify their voices. The award goes to young entrepreneurs, between 20 and 40 years old, running impact-driven businesses or nonprofit organizations as founder or owner, and wherein they hold an executive position.

“I’m thrilled to welcome the second edition of the Young Leader Award in Latest York and have a good time these young and passionate entrepreneurial leaders. They’re a relentless source of awe and inspiration,” said Cartier North America chief executive officer and president Walter Bolognino, via a press release.

Themed “Bettering Lives,” the 2023 edition sheds a lightweight on young entrepreneurial endeavors that support and empower under-represented communities by providing them more accessible, inclusive and effective health care solutions, paving the best way for a greater world for future generations.

4 finalists were chosen in April, amongst 280 registrations hailing from 33 countries. Together with Bakshi, the opposite finalists were Dr. Tatiana Fofanova, cofounder and chief executive officer Koda Health; Neha Verma, CEO, Intelehealth, and Prabhdeep Singh, founder and CEO, Red Health.

Bakshi will take home 50,000 euros in grant money and will even profit from international exposure, media visibility and a tailor-made mentorship program provided by the Young Leader Award academic partners, Georgetown University and Howard University, and ad-hoc coaching and mentoring sessions by Red Club x Cartier networks. The three runners-up will take home 10,000 euros in grant money and can proceed their journey along the Red Club Community, joining its prolonged “Friends and Family” circle.

Red Club x Cartier is a world membership community of successful young multicultural entrepreneurs.
