ANNA AS A LEADER

Anna’s leadership philosophy is centered around authenticity, reflection, and empowering others. Anna believes that true leadership is not about the leader themselves, but about enabling and inspiring those around her. She prioritizes inner development, believing that cultivating a deep understanding of oneself is essential to leading others effectively.

Leadership is not about the leader.

Great Leaders are reflective enablers.

The future of leadership is female.

When I think of a leader, I think of an empathetic and authentic woman that has an inspiring vision.

ANNA ON INNER DEVELOPMENT AS THE CORE OF LEADERSHIP

Anna emphasizes the importance of prioritizing inner development to succeed as a leader. She believes that true leadership starts with self-awareness and personal growth. By focusing on Inner Development Goals (IDGs), such as cultivating cognitive skills, caring for others, and fostering social skills, Anna has created a leadership style that is reflective, empathetic, and transformative. This approach not only strengthens her relationship with herself but also enhances her ability to empower her team and drive meaningful change in her organization.

ANNA ON THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER EQUALITY AND SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Anna is deeply committed to tackling pressing global issues such as gender equality and climate action. Through her work with uptraded, she is actively promoting responsible consumption and production in the fashion industry. Anna’s journey as a female entrepreneur in a male-dominated space has shaped her leadership philosophy, inspiring her to mentor and support the next generation of leaders, particularly women. By integrating sustainable practices with a focus on gender equality, Anna is leading the charge for a more equitable and environmentally conscious future in fashion.
