As we approach International Women’s Day, we are delighted to share with you a new interview each day this week, with inspiring and successful professional women, currently working for multi-national businesses across Switzerland and the Netherlands.

With this year’s theme of #BalanceforBetter, driving gender balance across the globe, the experiences, motivations and advice of these women will no doubt to some prove aspirational. In May, we look forward to co-hosting an event with Heineken in the Netherlands, for ‘Women in Finance’, to which we look forward to inviting men and women in managerial roles to discuss ‘How to be an Inclusive Leader’.

The first interview we share this week is with Katariina Wallin, VP Finance of Black Box in the Netherlands. Katariina moved from Finland to study at university in the Netherlands and has never looked back, as she continued to pursue and embrace the opportunities which came her way.
