International Women’s Day is dedicated to all the wonderful women in our lives. They are all our cheerleaders, our shoulder to cry on, our pillars of strength, our listeners, our counsellers, and so much more. To us, they are our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, and dear friends. There is no doubt, no shortage of those stories floating around at the moment. In an industry that is usually seen as dominated by men, it is pretty rare to find influential women in this digital world. The industry demands that we constantly innovate in this fast-paced world. These women are young, passionate, empowered and visionary. In conjunction with this special occasion, Fablysa, in collaboration with Ziliun and Techsauce is honoured and excited to bring to you our SEA 8 who are game changers, getting themselves out there and inspiring others in the Southeast Asia region and beyond.
