Enterprising Women magazine names Sue Finkam, founder & CEO of Fire Starter LLC, among Champions of Class of 2023
Sue Finkam, founder and CEO of Carmel-based marketing agency FireStarter LLC, is being honored by the Enterprising Women of the Year Awards, an annual celebration of the world’s top women entrepreneurs across all fields and industries. She is one of 30 women and the only one from Indiana to be named to Enterprising Women magazine’s list of Champions of the Class of 2023.
“It is an honor to be recognized among Enterprising Women’s 2023 Champions,” Finkam said. “This award means a great deal to me – not only because it recognizes women who are leading fast-growing businesses but also because it gives weight to the importance of supporting other women in business and acknowledges the profound impact women entrepreneurs are having in their communities.”
The Enterprising Women of the Year Awards are widely considered one of the most prestigious recognition programs for women business owners. Finkam is recognized for her work to amplify the voices of mission-driven organizations as founder and CEO of FireStarter LLC, a full-service marketing agency and certified women-owned business.
Utilizing decades of experience in marketing, business management and human resources management, Finkam helps clients solve marketing challenges during times of growth and transition. Together with the FireStarter team, Finkam has helped clients in multiple states and industries save lives through organ donation and transplantation, provide a better quality of life through specialized healthcare, and reduce the cost of energy for homes and businesses and more.
Prior to her work with FireStarter, Finkam served organizations such as Indiana University Health, Indiana Donor Network, and Ascension St. Vincent. Finkam has served on the Carmel City Council since 2012 and is currently running to be Carmel’s next mayor.
“The recipients of the 2023 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards represent an amazing group of women entrepreneurs from across the United States, Canada and around the globe, including honorees this year from the United Arab Emirates, Iceland and Thailand,” said Monica Smiley, publisher and CEO of Enterprising Women. “We look forward to shining the spotlight on them at our 21st annual awards event in May.”
The 2023 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration & Conference will take place from Sunday, May 21, to Tuesday, May 23, in Clearwater Beach, Fla. The two-day event will feature workshops, networking opportunities, corporate-sponsored exhibits, and awards presentations.
