BTS Group AB is proud to celebrate Christine Tao, co-founder and CEO of Sounding Board, for her inclusion in Inc. Magazine’s 2025 Female Founders 500 list—a prestigious recognition of the most inspiring and influential women entrepreneurs who are redefining what it means to lead and build in today’s business world.

The Female Founders 500 list honors bold visionaries who have overcome obstacles, challenged convention, and sparked meaningful change in their industries. As Inc. describes, this is a “special and rare” community of founders who are not just leading companies—they are reshaping what business leadership looks like today.

Innovating the future of leader development with Christine

Christine co-founded Sounding Board with Lori Mazan. Through its recent acquisition by BTS, Sounding Board expands BTS’s capabilities to serve global companies with end-to-end, executive to frontline leadership coaching—combining the power of human connection with the precision of platform-based scale.

“Christine’s recognition is a powerful validation of her purpose-driven leadership,” said Jessica Skon, CEO of BTS Group. “She embodies the courage, innovation, and ambition that the Female Founders 500 celebrates—and we’re honored to have her as part of the BTS family.”
