"Thank you so much Financial Times, I am humbled and proud to be in the 'FT’s 25 most influential women of 2021.' Among true heroines and female leaders in diverse fields that are pushing our society and environment for the better. I bow my head down in respect for these female leaders. I take this to strengthen my heart for the mission. I feel joy for the pride that this recognition brings to our teams (as no one does anything alone) but also to my two teenage daughters. We will make this inclusion worthwhile."
