Burlington, Canada, October 19, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Pink Elephant’s CEO, Fatima Cabral was named a Finalist in the Female Entrepreneur of the Year – Business Services –11 to 2,500 Employees category in the 10th annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in the program. The award winners will be announced at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on November 8, 2013.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Finalists were chosen from more than 140 business professionals worldwide during preliminary judging. More than 90 members of the five final judging committees will determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging.

The judges selected Fatima’s entry in recognition of her role as a pioneer in the IT support and management landscape in North America, her part in the ITIL® “revolution” and leading Pink Elephant to becoming the world leader in IT Service Management (ITSM) best practices.

“It is a privilege to be selected for this prestigious award and to be in the company of such incredible and accomplished women,” said Cabral. “This honor also recognizes the team of 'Pinkers' who have helped Pink Elephant make an impact in the ITSM world.”

“For 10 years we have been recognizing the achievements of women in business, and this year’s nominations were the most impressive class the judges have ever reviewed,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of the Stevie Awards. “We look forward to seeing the final judges’ decisions and honoring this year’s Stevie winners in New York next month.”

Fatima has also ranked amongst PROFIT Magazine’s Top 100 Woman Entrepreneurs for eight successive years, and is a recipient of an award from the Federation of Portuguese-Canadian Business Professionals.
