The Forbes Woman Gala this spring has a new edition for recognition of women in a continuously developing business environment. We talked about this event and about Romanian women in business with Raluca Michailov, owner of Forbes Romania, who said:


“This is the 11th edition, both for the project in the Forbes Romania Review, and the award gala. It was organic, in the sense that we at Forbes Romania try to support as many communities as we can. For instance, we have the under 30 community, and we try to reward young people under 30 with exceptional achievements, and with this gala we try to put the spotlight on ladies who do do extraordinary things in society and are not all as visible as they should.”




The Forbes Woman Gala is not only a way of recognizing the involvement of women and their active role in a developing business environment, but also the preface to the eighth edition of the Top 50 most influential women in Romania, published by Forbes Romania. Raluca Michailov added:


“Like every year, the top list is made up of 50 ladies, who are not just business women, we have ladies who do handle businesses, but we also find here personalities such as Mirela Nemtanu, director with the Hope House Hospice, Gabriela Alexandrescu, and, last but not least, Her Majesty Queen Margareta. The businesses we emphasize are of two kinds. First of all we are very much interested in Romanian entrepreneurship, and here I could quote Ms. Anca Vlad, who is the founder and leader of the FILDAS group, who is a female name on the global list made by Forbes USA in for 60s and over 60s, but we also deal with smaller businesses, such as consultancy, business, and acquisition, such as Mihaela Mitoiu and Ioana Filipescu. We are not limited to entrepreneurs, because a lot of extraordinary ladies are in various positions, generally management in corporations, ladies who influence the environment they work in.”




We asked Raluca Michailov if the number of business women in Romania is growing:


“In the pandemic, our data is not up to date, but we believe that there has been a drop in numbers, because we all know that not all the ladies are as adventurous as the gentlemen, and maybe they preferred a position that does not involve such risk as entrepreneurship. I wish we had more, but I believe the number is growing, which is a good thing.”




After the third edition of the Forbes Woman Summit, the most important summit in Romania, which brought to the Zoom virtual platform the most important female voices in Romanian society and business environment, Forbes Romania applauded and rewarded the ladies that knew how to make their name famous at the highest levels, also in the arts and creative areas, who are role models in Romanian society.




Raluca Michailov described the atmosphere at the Gala:


“It was a surreal atmosphere, because there was so much good emotion, because we were glad to see each other again, in spite of all that happened, and still happens. Being women, we pulled up our sleeves, and thought what we could do. There were things that were said, and that get done, because they dont remain at the verbal level, of helping and supporting. Our mission, our purpose is to show that businesses are as we see them, they are not just about money, but about the influence you can have on the environment, on the world you are trying to control, and we want this to be a very good influence.”




This was an effervescent atmosphere for an effervescent environment, run by women. Here is Raluca Michailov:


“I would like the female segment, and not only, I would like for Romanian female personalities to be more visible, more united. I hope that from now on the Forbes Gala will honor the ladies who do special things, and leave a mark on society.”




This is an encouragement for women of all ages to find their place in business or society, fulfilling their creative role.
