Celebrating women in business

Hello there!

This is a rather unusual post for my blog, but I felt really inspired by the event that I attended that I had to share. Fortune magazine is closely tracking the careers of the women star executives, all of whom could someday land a spot on our Most Powerful Women list. This year there was a special event to honour those women who fight day after day for the equality and the business sector and it was amazing.

Promoting the inclusion of women in business is vital to realising the full economic potential of any country. We know that women’s entrepreneurship plays a key role in creating jobs and driving economic growth, but that women-led small and medium-sized enterprises face increased challenges in accessing the financing and the know-how they need to develop and grow. I believe there is an opportunity here for women entrepreneurs, engage women more fully in business, and help economic engines run at full speed.

Let's hope that in the years to come, the female representation at the board of every company will be even bigger than it is now.
