Social Pictures: The IMAGE Speaker Series ‘Female Founders’ event

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” – T.S. Eliot.

For the next in our speaker series, IMAGE Media, in partnership with PwC, invited a remarkable group of female founders to share their business stories along with key learnings and observations in a series of ‘put it all on the table’ conversations with IMAGE Contributing Editor Melanie Morris.

On Wednesday 13 March, guests gathered in the five-star setting of Anantara at The Marker where we listened to and learned from a wide arc of experienced, innovative and successful leaders in business, women who have combined great ideas with brave strategies.

Through a combination of panel discussions and interviews, we heard from serial entrepreneur Louise Grubb, founder/CEO of the groundbreaking TriviumVet and IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year 2023; Karen Clince, campaigner and founder/CEO of the Tigers Childcare group; Jacqui O’Connor, founder/MD of MedScan3d; and Rosie Connolly Quinn, owner/founder of 4tharq. Our special guest for the evening was Henrietta Rix, co-founder of globally recognised fashion label RIXO.

This was a truly enlightening evening in the company of some of the most successful, most tenacious female business founders. The event was a great opportunity to network over cocktails in the Anantara at The Marker, situated in the heart of Dublin. And, on completion of the event, guests left with a luxury gift bag, and a toolkit of business insights and applications.
