Sidekick Co-Founder, Nora Griffiths, Named Among Canada’s Most Powerful Women

Sidekick is proud to share that our Co-Founder, Nora Griffiths, has been named a winner of the 2025 Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Awards issued by WXN (Women’s Executive Network). This national recognition celebrates women whose leadership, innovation, and impact are transforming industries, organizations, and communities in Canada. 

Nora is a people-centered leader, strategic integrator, and purpose-driven entrepreneur. With a proven track record of helping organizations and leaders think bigger and progress faster to achieve bold goals, she continues to draw on lessons from her work at Sidekick, work in the community and her leadership experiences long before Sidekick began. 

“I share this honour with the community of Sidekicks, clients, and partners who turn ambition into action every day. Impact doesn’t happen in isolation, it’s realized through shared purpose, trust and collaboration.” - Nora Griffiths  

With 20 years of experience across business development, operations, and organizational design, Nora has led teams, scaled ventures, and driven high-impact results across the for-profit and social impact sectors. 

This recognition means a lot to Nora and the entire Sidekick team. Our purpose is to equip leaders to realize their impact, and we know that impact can’t be realized alone. It takes a community of sidekicks who lead with trust, curiosity, and openness. Each collaboration, challenge, and breakthrough we share together reinforces what this award represents: the power of collective leadership. 

“This year has tested what it means to rise boldly, and our Top 100 Award Winners have shown us what it means to answer the call,” said Sherri Stevens, Owner and CEO of WXN. “They’ve turned setbacks into breakthroughs, uncertainty into courage, and ambition into real impact. Their achievements light a path for others, proving that strength, confidence and purpose are unstoppable—and that when women rise boldly, they change the whole world around them.” 

We’re proud to stand alongside a community of women leaders across Canada who are shaping the future of leadership through curiosity, compassion, and courage. This moment inspires us to keep pushing forward, sparking momentum, and equipping leaders to realize their impact.
