Vicki Wood, Editor of Pharmacy Practice + Business and CanadianHealthcareNetwork.ca, is the 2026 recipient of the B2B Leadership Award, the highest individual honour that the National Magazine Awards: B2B can bestow. The award recognizes outstanding achievements in B2B media. Judges were impressed by her ability to nurture and develop writers by creating a space for them to grow without micro-management. Her leadership was also demonstrated by guiding successful mergers and transitions in ownership and brands.
Wood began her career in 1984 as an editorial assistant for a trade directory at Maclean Hunter, eventually moving into production and then writing for various B2B journals before landing a reporting position with Pharmacist News – and eventually editor at Drugstore Canada. There, she guided the publication through mergers, ownership transitions and re-brands. Known for her talent-first leadership, she has added journalists, bloggers and contributors, while maintaining the highest editorial standards. She also led the brand’s transition into a digital-first model.
