Forward publisher and CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen won four Stevie Awards for Women in Business on Friday.
The Stevie Awards, which describes itself as “the world’s premiere business awards for female entrepreneurs, executives, employees and the organizations they run,” announced its annual prizes at an awards dinner in New York.
Fishman Feddersen won Silver Stevies in three categories: Woman of the Year, Maverick of the Year, and Female Executive of the Year (Consumer Services). She also picked up a Bronze Stevie for Female Executive of the Year (Government or Non-Profit).
The Forward itself won a Silver Stevie for Organization of the Year (Government or Non-Profit).
Fishman Feddersen has served as the Forward’s publisher since 2016, arriving at the Jewish national news organization to expand its digital footprint in the 21st century.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
