The U.S. Women’s Industry Network (WIN) announced the recipients of its 2022 Most Influential Women (MIW) awards, honouring seven women whose career achievements have enhanced the collision repair industry. Recipients represent a wide range of industry segments and boast a plethora of accomplishments.
The 2022 MIW award recipients include:
- Allison Boever, chief human resources officer, Repairify
- Alicia Figurelli, vice president, Thomas Greco Publishing
- Shirin Hezar, director, strategic accounts, Caliber Collision
- Jennifer Hubbard, client engagement manager, CCC

“These seven sensational women have made a huge impact on the collision repair industry through their dedication to excellence, commitment to their communities and investment in the future through their willingness to mentor other women,” said Rachel Hinson, MIW committee chair. “Their exemplary journeys show young women that anything is possible when you put in the work, and we can’t wait to celebrate them at the annual conference in May!”
Kathy Mello, WIN’s MIW committee co-chair, added: “These industry professionals serve as shining examples of the array of opportunities that are available in collision as well as testaments to the positive impact that women can have in this field.”
The Most Influential Women award was established in 1999 to recognise women whose leadership, vision and commitment to excellence have enriched the collision repair industry. With the addition of this year’s MIWs, over 100 women have been recognised for their contributions to the collision repair industry. Winners are chosen by a panel of past MIWs, which reviews nominees and selects award recipients based on established criteria, such as industry influence, professional accomplishments, mentorship, and community service.
