South Australian Founder Stands Alongside Global Giants as Finalist in Two Stevie® Awards for Women in Business
Alice Taugs Pisani’s world-first Soul-Aligned AI Business Strategist competes with U.S. consulting giants, wellness innovators, and international tech platforms.
Adelaide, SA – 29 September 2025 — Empowered by Alice, a women-led business redefining strategy through energetics and artificial intelligence, has been named a Finalist in two categories of the prestigious 22nd Annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business, a global honour recognising the world’s most innovative female entrepreneurs, executives, and organisations.
Achievement in Product Innovation - Strategy by Design: The World’s First Soul-Aligned AI Business Strategist
Most Innovative Woman of the Year – Business Services for Founder Alice Taugs-Pisani
The Stevie® Awards are among the world’s most respected accolades for women in business. In 2025, more than 1,500 nominations from 48 countries were considered, judged by over 190 industry professionals. These two finalist placements guarantee that Alice will receive a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award at the official ceremony held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City on November 10, 2025.
About the Innovation
Strategy by Design is a revolutionary AI tool that creates fully aligned business models in under 30 minutes using only a user’s birth data, drawing on Human Design, Astrology, and Gene Keys. Unlike conventional AI tools that require prompts or training, this strategist generates positioning, pricing, visibility rhythm, and scalable offers tailored to a founder’s energetic makeup.
Built for intuitive women, coaches, healers, and creative entrepreneurs, this innovation bridges the gap between soul and structure, making business growth feel empowering, not exhausting.
What This Means
- This recognition signals a global shift in how women can now access scalable strategy without sacrificing their wellbeing.
- It elevates Australia’s role, and South Australia specifically, as a pioneer in intuitive, ethical AI.
- It offers a blueprint for how AI can evolve into a force that amplifies human wisdom instead of replacing it.
- And for every woman who’s ever been told she had to change herself to succeed, it affirms that success can come from being more of who she already is.
In addition to her Stevie® nominations, Alice has also been nominated for the 2025 South Australian Women in Innovation Awards, further showcasing the state’s growing global impact in female-led tech and entrepreneurial excellence.
From Tuscany to the World Stage
“Receiving this nomination while on my honeymoon, just a few days after getting married in Tuscany, is beyond surreal,” said Taugs-Pisani. “I’ve already shed more than one tear knowing that this innovation is being recognised on a global stage. Strategy by Design isn’t just a tool, it’s a movement. And I’m beyond honoured to help lead it.”
