Irina Nikoulina
CEO of Boiron | Russia"In the pharmaceutical industry, where our company operates, and in the healthcare sector in general, women account for at least 70% of the workforce. If you turn to marketing research or opinion polls, they'll also tell you that woman is the key driver behind any action or change in family health matters: she is the one who decides whether to see a doctor or buy medicine, how to spend leisure time and how to organize meals. Conversely, if she refuses to accept this responsibility for some reason, nobody will. The same thing, by the way, is true for work.”
