Kicking off Women for Women Eindhoven Edition XII! 

On the 10th of June, we were thrilled to welcome this year’s Ambassadors, Talents and guests into a vibrant community built on mentorship, shared direction, and connections. Over the next three months, they will embark on a journey of unlocking potential through empowerment, establishing networks, and supporting one another’s career journeys. 

Global Talents Meets Local Connectors

The Women for Women (WfW) program is all about bridging global talent with local opportunities — and this opening event successfully set the tone for what is to come, as clear in the words of the participants: 

“This program creates upliftment through the support of women and the strength of a shared community,” said Talent Janelle De Bruyn, reflecting on the sense of belonging she felt right from the start. 

“Women for Women helps Talents move beyond conventional paths and instead focus on the strengths and opportunities that come from their diverse skill sets,” noted Ambassador Jayeeta Sengupta, on how the program helps unlock hidden potential. 

“There was such high energy in the room — so much common ground, so many new connections. It was a truly inspiring kickoff,” shared Sussane Toussant, Project Leader at Taalkracht, describing the atmosphere of the event. 

Just the Beginning

This is just the beginning of a program built on inclusion, collaboration, and opportunity. We can’t wait to see what unfolds.
