The Optical Women's Association was excited to continue its expansion plans for membership among women in the optical industry internationally, at an OWA Global Event at MIDO in Milan.
The featured event was "Breaking Optical Barriers: Women Who Conquered the Climb to Success", which included a powerhouse panel of accomplished executive leaders facilitated by OWA Vice President, Megan Molony.
Graciously sponsored by MIDO, this event kicked off with an introduction from Lorraine Berton, President of ANFAO and MIDO, followed by a panel including Malika Azrine-Bouferquene (EssilorLuxottica), Barbara Salimbeni (Marchon Eyewear), and Sara Osculati (Thelios), who shared insights into their journeys to the top. The discussion will focus on the challenges they faced - overcoming gender bias, managing work-life balance, and navigating corporate structures.
