Women Presidents’ Organization Launches Chapter in NZ

The Women Presidents’ Organization Launches Chapter in New Zealand

New York, NY (June 15, 2013) – The Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO) – an international peer advisory organization for million dollar plus women-led companies will launch a new chapter in Wellington, New Zealand on Thursday July 18, 2013 at the PwC Offices in Wellington. Founder Dr. Marsha Firestone from NYC will be attending.

“Women-owned and women-led companies represent a growing sector of the global economy. This new chapter of the WPO will help a group of New Zealand women entrepreneurs who have reached a certain financial threshold to navigate their businesses; in a facilitated confidential peer-to-peer environment” said New Zealand Chapter Chair Deborah Lee Marlow, CEO, The Business Whisperer, and former CEO and founder of Award Software International Inc. “WPO’s primary goals are to accelerate growth and promote economic security for successful women entrepreneurs who are still at the helm of their companies. This is not a ‘touchy-feely’ support group nor is it targeted to SME’s. This is for those women who have climbed the mountain and are now preparing to manage the next set of goals and challenges.”

“New Zealand is a key economic partner for businesses in North America and throughout the world – and women-led companies make up an increasing share of this economic activity,” said Dr. Marsha Firestone, Ph.D., Founder and President of the WPO. “We are confident that the Women Presidents’ Organization’s expansion into New Zealand will help provide key resources to a dynamic group of women business leaders.” Currently WPO has 110 Chapters on five continents and will add ten more in 2013.
