Another big moment for Appointedd this week π
Our founder and CEO, Leah Hutcheon, took to the stage at AccelerateHER today, alongside Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes. Leah shared her journey from winning the very first AccelerateHER award a decade ago to leading Appointedd through years of ambitious growth and product evolution.
Leah spoke candidly about what it really takes to build and scale a company over the long term - the wins, the setbacks, and the resilience required to keep going when things get tough.
The next generation of founders brought bold ideas, sharp thinking, and serious ambition - the room was full of energy! The pitches were incredible and the calibre of talent coming through was spectacular.
A full-circle moment for Leah, and a powerful reminder of why backing female founders isnβt just important, itβs essential.
