EWA AS A LEADER

Success, for me, is about making a significant impact, particularly in social and digital initiatives that address societal issues like period poverty and social exclusion. My leadership is driven by a commitment to these causes, with a focus on resilience, determination, and collaborative efforts. These values align with my personal mission to foster equality and inclusivity, making my leadership approach both impactful and inspiring.

Leadership is not about hierarchy.

Great Leaders adapt easly, show empathy and are open-minded.

The future of leadership is inclusive, collaborative, and driven by empathy and innovation.

When I think of a leader, I think of all the women who paved the way for me to achieve my goals and aspirations.
