The nomination is titled \"Yelena Rymbayeva: Disrupting a $15 billion Industry — How One Woman Leader Replaced Consulting with AI.\"\n\n## QMS2GO's Nomination and the Stevie Awards Field\n\nQMS2GO is a quality management software company for ISO 9001 manufacturers, founded in 2023 and based in Ruston, Louisiana. Its platform combines quality records such as procedures, corrective actions and audits with shop operations such as work orders, inventory and inspections. The company says it builds a customer's quality system from a conversation about the shop and collects audit evidence as daily work happens, rather than relying on consultants and paper documents.\n\nRymbayeva holds a bachelor's degree in Quality Management and a master's degree in Media Communications from the Higher School of Economics. She contributes to the Entrepreneur Leadership Network on technology commercialization and product strategy, and she has served as a judge for the Stevie Awards for Women in Business.\n\n\"Yelena's work shows what happens when deep quality expertise meets AI. Manufacturers get an audit-ready operating system without the old consulting playbook,\" said Onega Ulanova, CEO of QMS2GO.\n\n\"Being named a finalist is an honor for our whole team,\" said Yelena Rymbayeva. \"It shows that AI can replace outdated consulting models and put a quality operating system directly in manufacturers' hands.\"\n\nThe SAWIB26 finalist field includes organizations such as IBM, UnitedHealthcare Consumer Services, HP Inc., Amazon, Contentful, Dell Technologies, Lattice and The Vanguard Group. IBM and UnitedHealthcare Consumer Services were among the organizations with the highest numbers of finalist nominations, according to the Stevie Awards' September 17, 2026 announcement. The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs and the companies they run, and finalists for the 23rd annual program were announced on September 17, 2026.\n\n## QMS2GO's Product and Membership Record\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), QMS2GO released a Free ISO 9001 Roadmap tool in 2025, a no-credit-card AI generator of personalized implementation plans used by more than 500 companies across more than 30 industries. The same records show the company launched an integrated Operations Module in 2025 covering production, inventory, inspections, distribution and service management on a single AI and audit trail, and that it joined API, IADC and ASQ while graduating from the National Security Accelerator. The records put the company's path from zero to audit-ready at 8-12 weeks, compared with traditional consulting timelines of 6-12 months.\n\n## When the Stevie Winners Are Announced\n\nGold, Silver and Bronze Stevie placements will be announced on November 16, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.
