5 Female CEOs to Watch in the Digital Space
As a woman in business, one of my greatest passions is supporting other female entrepreneurs. One woman alone may have power, but collectively, we have a huge impact – which is why I always jump at the chance to recognise and applaud all of the incredible female bosses and business owners I admire in the digital space.
This week, I want to highlight five women who I believe you NEED to be watching and learning from as we enter Q1 and then 2023. These individuals have all impressed me with their unique approach to business and commitment to what they do, and I can’t wait for you to learn more about them.
