UK-based women’s business network to launch in Singapore
July 28, 2011 by Terence LEE
The Athena Network, a UK networking organization for businesswomen, will be launched in Singapore this September (see press release). Besides arranging meetup sessions, the organization also holds interactive workshops and training courses for aspiring and current women entrepreneurs.
The organization was founded in the UK in 2005 and has since grown to 26 franchisees and 2,600 networking members across 30 regions in the country. Their effort to expand into Singapore and Asia Pacific is headed by Gina Romero, previously Athena’s operations director and regional director of the North London area.
“Singapore has a thriving community of small businesses and entrepreneurs. I am very excited about the opportunity to bring the Athena brand here to APAC. My vision is to create a dynamic community of inspired women who come together for personal and professional development, fun and of course to open the door to bigger and better business opportunities for all,” she said.
Helping her is fellow UK expat Claire Kidd, a published magazine writer with over seven years experience as a facilitator and trainer. For inquiries, contact Gina here.
