Om oss

Nätverk för ledande kvinnor inom Life Science där vi inspireras, utbyter erfarenheter, hjälper varandra och har kul tillsammans.

Syftet med nätverket VILDA (som står för VD Inom Lifescience: Damer för Affärsnätverkande) är att skapa ett förtroendefullt forum där vi kan utbyta erfarenheter, få nya insikter och låta oss inspireras av varandra. Målsättningen är att utvecklas och stärkas i sin roll, så väl affärsmässigt som personlighetsmässigt, samtidigt som vi alla bygger värdefulla nätverk. Nätverket riktar sig till kvinnliga företagsledare.
