Women leaders: Making a difference

Meet Veronica Prat van Thiel, Cartier Japan President & Chief Executive Officer, and Floriane Tripolino, CEO & Representative Director of Publicis Groupe Japan.

The Women in Business Committee of the French Chamber invites you to meet  Veronica Prat van Thiel, Cartier Japan President & Chief Executive Officer, and Floriane Tripolino, CEO & Representative Director of Publicis Groupe Japan, on Monday, May 27, 2019, for an exceptional seminar in the conference room "L'Espace" at the new offices of the French Chamber.

Despite the attempts of the Abe Government to enact policies to push for the empowerment of women and gender equality, Japan still ranked 110th among 149 nations according to the World Economic Forum's global gender equality rankings in 2018. One of the several reasons was the very low number of women in managerial positions.

In such a context, sharing the experiences of women leaders such as Veronica Prat Van Thiel and Floriane Tripolino is crucial. During this exclusive seminar, they will discuss their own professional experiences in Japan and abroad, and address the benefits of empowering women in the workforce.
