“It was fantastic to be part of such a great event, and I was honoured to be amongst so many successful businesswomen. This kind of achievement doesn’t happen without the support of some amazing people. My husband and children have always been highly supportive of my work. My fellow board members are a true inspiration and I continue to learn so much from all of them. Most importantly, is the support of the BTL team. They are such a talented and committed set of people, and without them I would not have achieved such international recognition.“
