Celebrating Leadership Excellence: South African businesswomen represents her country in Saudi Arabia.

In every industry, awards are more than trophies, they are symbols of recognition, resilience, and impact. They represent long hours of work, moments of sacrifice, vision that inspires others, and the courage to lead with integrity.

This year, our very own Dr Miskyah Toth CEO of Business Directive Contract Services , was honoured with the Global Power Leaders “Business Leader of the Year 2025” award in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Representing South Africa on this international stage, she stood as a beacon of excellence in a room filled with some of the world’s most influential leaders.

Business awards are not simply about growth charts or revenue milestones. They are about visionary leadership, the ability to see opportunities where others see challenges. They are about innovation, bringing forward solutions that redefine industries. They are about impact, empowering people, building legacies, and leaving the world better than you found it. They are also about resilience, the ability to thrive despite obstacles, especially in uncertain times.

The Global Power Leaders “Business Leader of the Year” award is reserved for leaders who demonstrate transformational influence beyond their organizations. It recognises those who shape industries and communities with their decisions, who champion ethical leadership and global collaboration, and who inspire the next generation to aim higher.

Women are underrepresented in the supply chain industry , yet Dr. Toth’s recognition is a powerful reminder that excellence has no gender. Women who win awards like this often do so because they bring unmatched resilience, navigating barriers with grace. They embody empathy and people first leadership, qualities that drive sustainable growth. And they show trailblazing courage, paving the way for others to follow. Her win is not just personal; it is a collective victory for women in leadership. It reminds us that breaking ceilings is not about competing with men, but about leading authentically and courageously.

Dr. Toth’s achievement is also a proud South African moment. On a global stage, she carried our nation’s name with pride, proving that leadership rooted in truth, transparency, and impact can shine anywhere in the world.

As her team, we are inspired daily by her drive, her vision, and her heart for people. This award only confirms what we already know: she is a global power leader, and her best chapters are still being written.

Congratulations once again, Dr. Miskyah Marie Toth your win is a win for us all.
