This is a big deal for women leaders in Australia. Of the 200 largest companies in Australia, just nine have female CEOs, and 10 have women as chairs. The Australian market is finally ready for a group of women to make an impact. 

Women in Australia make 80% of purchasing decisions and more than 30% of businesses there are owned by women. It’s time for leadership to start reflecting the people they represent, and an important step toward realizing that representation is having more women in leadership roles. It is our hope that the Australian Retail Advisory Board will highlight this issue and empower other women.

These Women2Watch are ready to take on the world! “I am honored to be part of the Women2Watch Retail Advisory Board. Advancing the careers of women and supporting them in their journey to professional and personal success is something I’m very passionate about,” said Alice Kuepper, Managing Director of Online Retailer. ​

Who knows, maybe we’ll be tackling a European expansion next! You can nominate a Women2Watch here.
