“This year, we learned that one of you was on the ‘Wallace and Ladmo Show’ when you were a child, another woman fed lion cubs out of a bottle, one claims to be the inventor of avocado toast, and yet another woman wanted to be a professional bowler when she was a kid,” said Amy Lindsey, publisher of AZ Big Media, which produces Az Business and AZRE magazines. “This year, we had nearly 2,000 women under consideration. That shows how deep the field of talented women is in our state. And it also shows that the Most Influential Women in Arizona for 2023 truly represent the best of the best.”
