Women who inspire

20 stories from across Asia

Sharing stories to learn

Diversity and inclusion is a topic close to our heart, and this International Women's Day, we hope to further this conversation by celebrating women.

We believe learning from others and their experiences is the fastest way to grow and in this book “Women Who Inspire – 20 Stories From Across Asia”, we explore the journey behind 20 female leaders, and the ways they are creating inspiration for the people and communities around them.

Success looks different to every single person, for some it is about dreaming big and overcoming the odds to achieve the seemingly impossible; for others, it is about creating positive impact and finding balance within their myriad roles as a professional, manager, daughter or mother.

We hope that through their stories, you will be able to draw inspiration and learn from their experiences, to write the next chapter of your own success story.
