Women in Business, New Challenges for New Leaders

On February 23, the AmCham Women Leaders Group was launched with the “Women in Business: New Challenges for New Leaders" discussion. Held at the US Ambassador’s residence and hosted by Dr. Michelle Loewinger, the US Ambassador to Belgium Gutman's wife, the event included a keynote address by Ine Mariën, Managing Director of Ine Mariën & Company, followed by a lively panel discussion.

What does it take to be a successful woman in business? According to Ine Mariën, the recipe for success includes five ingredients: a take-charge attitude, initiative, passion, 100 percent and a good partner.  This was followed by an elaboration of each point in turn.

Following Ine Mariën's opening was a lively panel debate which covered a range of topics which effect women in the business world, including balancing career and family, corporate culture and self-marketing, to name a few.
