We would like to invite all women to celebrate International Women’s day with Mercator Launch on the 6th of March 2020. Women are underrepresented and underestimated in corporate leadership, making up only 4.8% of CEOs, despite making up 44.7% of total employees. Added to that, women are even now payed less than men in spite of doing the same tasks.

Mercator Launch hosts an interactive ask-me-anything lunch with a panel of business women at different stages in their careers to discuss these advantages, challenges and opportunities. To hear their advice and learn from their own personal stories about starting an own business, combating gender stereotypes and championing the cause of women in the workplace, you can sign in now for this lunch!

Panel:

• Nienke Helder (Founder Sexual Healing – IMPROVE candidate)
• Rixt Herklots (COO The Next Women NL)
• Tshepiso Kathryn Makhoha (Founder Managing Director ESMP Group)
• Zahra Boufadiss (Lawyer at van Essen Advocaten)
