Being daring, learning, and supporting others: Women executives share leadership perspectives at Bucharest event

The attributes needed to reach the top of the business hierarchy, how to motivate and support the teams one works with, and how to tackle the unavoidable challenges that arise along the way were among the topics discussed at the event Inspiring Women in Business, organized by La French Tech Bucharest.

Making it to a top position is not an easy game, and although the title held might be shiny, the elements that make up the road there are not, said Oana Dumitrache, Vice President of Marketing Europe Central & Central Asia at Michelin. It takes a lot of work to deal with the complexity of the situations one encounters, as well as willingness and a touch of luck to make it to the top. Around 30% of the top management positions at Michelin are held by women. The ratio is higher than in other companies, but the journey won’t stop there, she explained.
