San Diego Business Journal's annual Business Women of the Year award highlights women that have been instrumental to their industry and workplace, having overcome some seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their career to rise to the top, paving the way for a brighter future among peers. The 12 winners were chosen by a panel of judges from more than 300 nominations.
