TheNextWomen presents the 100 most successful business women in the Netherlands
Amsterdam, 17 September 2019 – Last night, the international network TheNextWomen brought together the 100 most successful businesswomen in the Netherlands for the eighth time during TheNextWomen100. In the Empire of the Emperor in Amsterdam, the list of the 100 most successful female entrepreneurs of this year was presented. In addition, last Friday, September 13, the 50 women on the list of TheNextWomen to Watch were announced: the most promising talents that TheNextWomen estimates have the potential to be in TheNextWomen100 within three years.
Rixt Herklots, Director TheNextWomen:
“You cannot become what you cannot see. That is why, according to TheNextWomen, it is important to give visibility to role models. TheNextWomen100 shows what hard work, perseverance and innovation brings about. The ambitions and successes of these entre- preneurs are a crucial part of the Dutch economy. With TheNextWomen we bring together a group of incredibly inspiring women, who actually don’t really care about “women’s networks”, but who nevertheless realize how useful it is to spar with each other, to inspire each other and to help them move forward. ”
Most successful Dutch business women hold shares in their own hands
Only 6% of entrepreneurs in the Netherlands convert more than € 1 million annually. The women in TheNextWomen100 go well beyond that with a minimum turnover of € 2 million in the 2018 financial year, with 33% of this list even exceeding € 10 million in turnover. In addition, 70 out of 100 entrepreneurs still own 50% or more of the shares this year. The 50 women on the list of TheNextWomen to Watch generated a minimum turnover of € 500,000 in 2018 and have been in existence for no longer than 10 years.
