On Monday, 2 September, Prestige Hong Kong celebrated their fourth annual Women of Power with the second edition of the Women of Power summit at the Landmark Atrium, Hong Kong, in partnership with Noble Panacea, Tiffany & Co., Black Sheep, and Stella McCartney, with HER Fund serving as the charity partner for this year’s event. The Women of Power initiative began with Hong Kong in 2021 with a mission to create a vibrant and ever-growing community of successful and influential women. The summit is a reminder that every woman of power is a trailblazer and a visionary whose impact is felt beyond simple business success.
This year, Prestige Hong Kong aims to create an even greater impact by mapping out pathways and forging partnerships that will benefit the broader Hong Kong community. The 2024 Prestige Hong Kong Women of Power summit is engaging with an emerging demographic of young women who seek to create a difference, not only for themselves, but also for other women, for their home, and for their city.
The panel for Prestige Hong Kong’s fourth Women of Power summit was divided into a morning session and an afternoon session and consisted of 24 moderators and speakers, including Oceana Ou, Managing Director & Publisher, BurdaLuxury Hong Kong; Maya Lin, Deputy Managing Director, Cartier Hong Kong; and Audrey Bois Nicolaï, Head of Brand at Noble Panacea, amongst many others.
Bastian Wong, Founder & CEO of Flare Communications Group and Vivian Su, Banker and Formula 4 Racing Driver, led the morning session with an insightful talk on rediscovering passion and purpose through the powers of positive thinking and rest. This was followed by Kristie Lu Stout, Anchor & Correspondent, CNN, who taught the audience how to harness confidence and assertiveness to make sure their voices are heard. The morning session concluded with a talk on how to protect your family legacy, led by Sherlynn Chan, Partner, Deacons and chair of the Mental Health Law Committee of the Law Society of Hong Kong, and the importance of trusting your gut instincts, which was led by Dr. Siew Ng, Professor of Medicine, CUHK and co-founder, G-NiiB GenieBiome Ltd.
