The Women’s Edge, together with its partner The Boston Globe, announced Nitsch Engineering as one of the 24th annual Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts. The honorees were recognized during a celebratory breakfast event on Friday, November 1st. The 100 organizations honored generated over $124 billion in total revenue in 2023, demonstrating that women leaders continue to be key drivers of the state’s economy. Nitsch was ranked #92 on the list.
“The organizations on this year’s diverse list are driving $124 billion of revenue into the MA economy and innovation across the country, from increased manufacturing capacity to breakthroughs in clinical care and therapeutics” said The Women’s Edge Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth L. Hailer. “We are honored to celebrate the top 100 women leaders and hope it inspires others to drive for success here in our region and beyond.”
This is the 24th year that The Women’s Edge — a Boston-based nonprofit organization devoted to advancing women in leadership positions — created the list through a nomination process and reviewed both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and the 12th year that the list was created in collaboration with The Boston Globe. In addition to revenue or operating budget, factors considered in the evaluation included workplace and management diversity, board makeup, and innovative projects.

Nitsch President & CEO Lisa A. Brothers, PE, ENV SP, LEED AP BD+C said, “As a women-led firm in a male-dominated industry, Nitsch has long been focused on supporting the success and advancement of employees who are underrepresented in the industry, including women and people of color – and we know that having women in leadership has an impact on encouraging women to enter and remain in an industry. We’re thrilled to have made the list again this year!”
“These 100 exceptional leaders, and the companies they run, are at the heart of the Massachusetts economy,” said Globe Magazine editor Francis Storrs. “We’re delighted to highlight their inspiration and impact through our longtime partnership with The Women’s Edge.”
