PARK CITY, Utah — Two Park City women have been named to Utah Business’ 2026 Women to Watch list: professional ski mountaineer and climate advocate Caroline Gleich, and Devin Gillette, vice president of business development at Park City–based luxury home builder Vitruvius Built.

The list, which appears in the May 2026 issue of Utah Business, recognizes women leaders across the state. It honors 40 of the most influential female business leaders and presents a Lifetime Achievement Award to one leader. This year’s class also includes 10 honorees with enduring careers and exceptional impact, named “Most Influential Women.”

Gleich is a professional ski mountaineer whose career has bridged athletics and public-lands advocacy. In 2017, she became the first woman and fourth skier to ski all 90 lines of the Chuting Gallery, a series of steep descents in the Wasatch Mountains. She summited Mount Everest in May 2019 with a fully torn ACL, and she has testified before the U.S. House and Senate on how climate change has impacted snow sports. She was the Democratic Party’s nominee in the 2024 U.S. Senate race in Utah and lost to Republican Representative John Curtis by more than 30 percentage points.

In her Utah Business profile, Gleich described the influence of splitboarder and mountain guide Liz Daley, who she said showed her that strength and femininity were not in opposition. After Daley died in an avalanche, Gleich said, she began channeling her risk-taking from the mountains into advocacy work. Her advice to other leaders: “Trust your intuition, especially when it’s telling you something is wrong.”

Gillette serves as VP of business development at Vitruvius Built, a luxury residential construction firm based in Park City that works in Park City, Deer Valley, Promontory, Tuhaye, Victory Ranch, The Colony, Deer Crest, Powder Mountain, and Marcella. In her profile, she described building and selling an earlier company, then starting over in Hawaii as a newly single mother, as the experience that most shaped her leadership. Rebuilding without a network, she said, taught her that adaptability matters more than titles. Her advice to emerging leaders centers on consistency over volume — being the most grounded voice in the room rather than the loudest.
