Phenomenal Female Entrepreneurs
“Nine-year-old Naina sprints over to her father’s chair and hops up. Stretching out her long, slender legs so that her toes graze the floor, she pushes off and sends the chair spinning around in a tight circle … Already Naina knows she’ll want to find the type of job where she can make a difference.”

This title in The Women’s Hall of Fame Series features determined and inspirational women who not only succeed in their careers, but also give back to society in meaningful ways. Meet an aviation entrepreneur, a clean-water advocate and CEO, personal care product innovators, a high-finance expert, and others. I was honoured to interview four of the women featured. Their stories are truly extraordinary!
