Join us as we hear from two women entrepreneurs about navigating the disruptions of Covid-19, alongside some networking with drinks and nibbles.

About the event

This roundtable will give two women entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their businesses and how they have navigated disruptions of Covid-19 to their business. We will have a particular focus on their capital raise experience and the unconscious bias they might have encountered as women doing business.

This will also be an opportunity to receive feedback and gain insights from other fellow entrepreneurs participating in the event.

The roundtable will be chaired by Kirsty Reynolds-Director, Investor and Activator at SheEOTM.

Jane-Estelle Dorsemaine - Speaker

In 2008 she launched her own business offering tailored creation of lampshade, both new models or old models renovation.

In January 2019 her entrepreneurship vein made her resign and launch again her own lighting and lampshade business, working with professional designers, architects, businesses and individuals.

Anne-Constance Palmeri - Speaker


In 2017, with a background in naturopathy and aromatherapy and a passion for cosmetics, founder Anne-Constance Palmeri set out to create a skincare range that was a pleasure to use every day, as well as being good for the skin and for the environment.
Anne-Constance, a Frenchwoman living in New Zealand, refuses to compromise on the quality of the products she formulates in her Takapuna, Auckland, lab. “I wanted to create a range that I’d be happy to use and that I’d be happy for my young children to use. In fact, I've named the business after my daughter, Sianna, to always remind me of what is important. I'm proud that Sianna Skincare is naturally good.” More recently and just after the second lockdown Anne-Constance opened a new cafe called Casse-Croûte.

 

About the Women and Leadership Committee

The Women & Leadership committee aims to develop informative and interactive events for women (and men) within the Chamber and the local business community by:

  • Enabling women of different nationalities, working and living in New Zealand, to achieve professional and personal success
  • Giving women a strong voice in the New Zealand business community
  • Creating opportunities for women to be successful in future leadership roles.

About the SME Committee

The SME committee supports primarily small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the Chamber from all different business sectors and the local NZ business community.

Its aim is to help SMEs grow their network, address some of the challenges they face and create business opportunities amongst SME members. In other words: SMEs’ professional development.
