“I am proud to be a member of Women in Travel Retail+ (WiTR+) which is a vibrant community empowering and connecting women across the travel retail industry. Over the years, WiTR+ events have allowed me to contribute to meaningful charitable projects, meet like-minded women who are passionate about driving positive change in our industry, and seek and share career advice with my peers.

“When I joined WiTR+ at the end of 2022, I was looking for a platform of woman in the TR industry, with whom I could connect – WiTR+ provided this platform, through their regular virtual webinars and in person social gatherings at various TR events. Becoming a member not only provided this connection to like-minded individuals within our industry but opened the door to numerous inspirational and motivational talks
The element which touched me most, was the WiTR+ annual charity drive, to support less fortunate woman, children and communities where members are given the opportunity to recommend a charity. In 2023, it was an honor to have my charity of choice nominated – Koma Karanth Foundation, which build homes, feeds, educates and supports the community of Gloria Mindoro in the Philippines. Throughout 2023 a total of 34,133 Euros were raised through WiTR+ webinars and in-person TR events, enabling the charity to build a total of 6 furnished family homes for this community. The names of WiTR+ and their sponsors, feature on each home, in recognition of the generous donors.
It is a honour and pleasure to be associated with this wonderful network of executive woman, lead by Sarah Branquinho and Gerry Munday who constantly strive to make a difference in the lives of others, especially those less fortunate.”
