The Stevies, the nation’s premier business awards, will be presented at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on Monday, June 11.

A trailblazer for female executives, Ms. Fitzpatrick leads Bloomberg Tax’s research and news group and was awarded a bronze-level Stevie award in the Woman of the Year category.
