Feltham received the honour, presented every two years, at the YMCA Women of Excellence Gala on May 15 at the London Convention Centre. The award, sponsored by Ivey and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, was presented to Feltham via video by Professor Eric Morse, who recognized her as the quintessential entrepreneur.

Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship and Special Advisor to the President and Director of Entrepreneurship at Western University. “She has built Stiris Research with genuine purpose, and she has maintained that purpose while scaling to a team of 150 conducting clinical trials around the world.”
