Wednesday — Celebrating the 2025 Women of Inspiration. 🌟

Today we shine the light on Jeanette Fitzgerald, AVP of Strategic Accounts at Sourcepoint and one of our 2025 Women of Inspiration honorees.

She learned early on that real leadership isn’t doing it all yourself — it’s empowering others, trusting their strengths, and building a team that can thrive together.

One of Jeanette’s proudest moments was not about the numbers, but about impact: helping a talented team member find her voice, grow her confidence, and earn the respect she always deserved.
