Girls and young women aged 11 to 25 are invited to meet some of Monaco’s most accomplished female leaders in an afternoon of open, small group mentoring sessions designed to inspire the next generation. 

The Speed Mentoring GirlBoss event, now in its fifth year, is organised by SheCanHeCan and the Association des Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises de Monaco (AFCEM), with the support of the Comité for the Promotion and Protection of Women’s Rights.

It is set to take place on 4th March, coinciding with International Women’s Rights Day, at Le Méridien Beach Plaza, starting at 3pm.

Participants will move through a series of small-group session with the chance to ask mentors about their career paths, the obstacles they have faced and how they got where they are. The goal is for young women to see that it’s possible. Then, they will be more likely to believe it possible for themselves.

More than 20 mentors will be present, spanning fields including finance, architecture, logistics, pharmaceuticals and haute couture.

Among the confirmed names are internationally acclaimed Monegasque pianistStella Almondo, founder of Little Wonders and member of the Grimaldi family Marie Ducruet, Monaco’s Interministerial Delegate for Women’s Rights Céline Cottalorda, Director of the CHPG Benoîte Rousseau de Sevelinges, and Béatrice Fresko-Rolfo, member of the National Council.
