Beth Borody is more than the CEO and Founder of the Femina Collective. She is also a thought leader in leadership and investment and an inspiration to women in mining. A 2024 recipient of the Women In Mining 100 award, Beth bravely blazes the path to bringing women into every aspect of mining operations, from technical disciplines to senior leadership to ownership and investment.

Beth is the founder & CEO of Femina Collective, a social enterprise that empowers women in mining and related sectors through mentorship, networking, and advocacy. She was recognized as one of the Globe and Mail's top 50 Changemakers in Canada for 2021, for her work in pushing the boundaries for mining to be more diverse and inclusive. Beth is passionate about feminism, Indigenous rights, and climate crisis ac9on, and has worked extensively in Sub-Saharan Africa and North America, bridging worldviews and creating impactful strategies around sustainability and ESG. 

Beth is also a sustainability leader and a mining executive. As part of her executive roles, she has led the development and implementation of the company's ESG strategy, policies, and practices.  She also fostered strong relationships with stakeholders, communities, and regulators to advance the company's social license and reputation. Beth's strong understanding of ESG  requirements is balanced with an understanding of company and industry risks and opportunities.  Beth is focused on creating a more responsible and inclusive mining industry for all.

My work focuses on breaking barriers, amplifying female representation, and creating inclusive spaces where women can connect, invest, and step into their influence with confidence.
