Celebrating Women In Business (Putney Library)

To celebrate trailblazing women in business, and as part of Start Up Business Week 2004, Putney Library will be hosting an interactive panel and Q&A session with local business women, Felicia Odamtten and Julie Wong who will share their wealth of experience in their respective business sectors, and let us know what it takes to succeed as a woman in business.

The Q&A will be followed by networking, discussions and food and drinks at Putney Library. The event will also be livestreamed: email: startup@gll.org to ask for the livestream link.

Felicia Odamtten is an economist and the founder of The Black Economists Network (T-BEN), a role in which she has collaborated with The Bank of England and the Government Economic Service (UK), among others. As an economist at The Resolution Foundation, Felicia focuses on improving living standards for low to middle-income groups and policy areas such as housing and environmental economics.

Julie Wong is a business mentor and has helped a wide range of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) recognise the need for robust financial management to identify areas of growth through purposeful use of information. Julie is a qualified accountant with 30 years’ experience within organisations from FTSE listed giants to small businesses and start-ups. Her focus is on connecting finance with operational parts of the organisation and believes in taking the “fear out of finance”.
