2025 Trailblazer Award

At the 2025 summit we honored Jody Gunderson for blazing her own trail in private credit.

We were delighted to honor Jody Gunderson as our 30th Women’s Summits Trialblazer at the 2025 Women’s Private Credit Summit. As a Managing Principal and member of the Investment Committee at AB CarVal, Jody has been instrumental in shaping the firm’s investment strategy, expanding global loan portfolios, and advancing energy transition initiatives. 

As part of our EmpowHER series meeting the women behind the investors, Jody joined our team ahead of the 2025 Summit to share more insights into her outstanding career, advice she’d give to her younger self, and what helps to keep her motivated.
