From CEOs of major corporations to small business owners, women are proving that they are just as capable and driven as their male counterparts.

Business Chic Essentials, will highlight some of the most successful businesswomen of our time, sharing their inspiring stories of how they overcame obstacles and achieved great success. We will explore the lessons they have learned along the way, and the valuable insights they can offer to aspiring female entrepreneurs. 

We will delve into the strategies and mindsets that have propelled these women to the top of their fields.

2. Mary Barra: Mary Barra is the CEO of General Motors, making her the first woman to lead a major global automaker. She started her career at GM as an 18-year-old intern and worked her way up through the company to become CEO in 2014.
