Let's get inspired by successful women that are making an impact in the startup and tech communities of our beloved Barcelona.
We'll have a fireside chat with Anna Gener, President & CEO of Savills Aguirre Newman BCN. Anna is an inspiring woman who speaks up about the subtle incongruences of the modern business world. As a member of various Boards of Directors across Catalonia, her efforts to be a truthful and honest entrepreneur are what make her stand out.
She has a degree in Economic and Entrepreneurial Sciences from Pompeu Fabra University and specializes in Realtor studies since 2004. She writes articles and think pieces at Eje Prime and Economía Digital.
The event will go as follows:
1. First, we have an open mic session where any attendee is free to speak up his mind or ask for a piece of advice from the community and receive feedback.
2. The second part is the fireside chat interview, hosted by our Chapter Director Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit.
3. And last but not least, we host a networking session in which attendees talk to each other freely over some beers and delicious empanadas. There's no Startup Grind where you don't leave with new friends and exciting connections.
Follow #SGBCN; the official Startup Grind Barcelona hashtag. See you there and happy grinding!
