On Friday, 16 August, Prestige Singapore hosted its third annual Women of Power event at the New Bahru under the theme Uplifting Women and Beyond, in partnership with Louis Vuitton. This year, Prestige Singapore honoured 28 inspirational women who are paving the way in their respective fields and driving positive change across the country.
The Women of Power initiative began with Prestige Hong Kong in 2021, and in 2022 was carried across the region, with Prestige Thailand, Prestige Singapore, and Prestige Malaysia all proudly hosting their own Women of Power events. This year’s event featured two panels, each with three panelists who focused on impact philanthropy and personal branding in the social media age. Both panels were moderated by broadcast host and producer, Denise Keller.
The first panel on Impact Philanthropy featured Kathlyn Tan, Principal, Rumah Group; Belinda Lee, Host, Actress, Author, and Inspirational Speaker Cross Artiste; and Hazlina Halim, CEO, Make-a-Wish Foundation Singapore, President PPIS. The purpose of this panel was to provide audiences with the opportunity to understand the unique perspectives and experiences to drive meaningful social change. With women leading the conversation, they were able to address systemic issues and provide a deeper knowing on how to better support communities that are underrepresented.
The second panel on Personal Branding in the Social Media Age featured Tjin Lee, Head of Southeast Asia, Gusto Collective; Jamie QQ Wu, Founder, ModaMorphosis; and Anna Vanessa Haotanto, CEO and Founder, Zora Health. This panel showcased how important a tool personal branding is for women to be able to shape and dictate their narratives and build meaningful connections. The panelists were able to share first hand experiences of how utilising social media for their own personal branding helped them create opportunities for leadership in their professional lives.
Attendees also included Winnie Chan, Co-founder & CEO at Bynd Artisan; Harmin Kaur, Founder at Stellaire; Sabrina Tan, CEO and Founder, Skin Inc Global; Paige Parker, Host, Pass the Power with Paige Parker; Roshni Mahtani, Group CEO, The Asianparent; Trina Liang, Managing Director, Sidra Capital; and Crystal Lim, CEO at Forest Wolf.
