The Stevie Awards for Women in Business is an international competition produced by the creators of the International Business Awards and American Business Awards. The Stevie is widely recognized as the world's premier business award and received over 1,500 nominations from around the globe for women's achievements in categories such as COVID-19 Response (awarded to Healthy Horizons in 2020), Entrepreneur of the Year, Executive of the Year and Social Change Maker of the Year. Janakos was lauded for her accomplishments by a panel of judges who noted her ability to identify a real gap in support for lactating women and their babies by providing a service that enables and supports women breastfeeding.
