 Hi, I'm Annalisa Leonor-Valares. I'm the CEO and founder of Women's Fear, a global leadership community and independent media organization based in New York but serving the world's women. I'm originally from the Philippines and spent half my life there and half my life here in America. I worked in investment banking and in technology prior to deciding to become a global entrepreneur. I think that the next generation of leaders show a lot of fearlessness. I think that we're eager to take on the toughest challenges and solve some of the most complex problems that humanity faces and I think that we have an understanding and an appreciation for complexity and we know that it takes a multidimensional approach to solve some of these problems and therefore I think we're actually very creative and open. We love to push the boundaries of understanding. We understand that it takes an interdisciplinary approach to solve some of these issues. For example, the issue of advancing women's leadership around the world and closing the gender equity gap requires us to understand culture, sociology, economics, politics, the regulatory environment and many different disciplines that need to come together. I also think that we have a genuine care and compassion for the well-being of others that is a great strength for this generation and I think that we love to collaborate with each other. I think that it gives us a tremendous amount of energy to know that we are working with kindred spirits around a shared goal. I think that the greatest challenges faced by this generation are the sustainable and equitable development of nations and unleashing women's potential. I think that women represent an undervalued asset and so much work needs to be done to invest in women's advancement in all societies around the world. But I also think there are many sources of hope and these represent opportunities. I think that the world has evolved to be much more open and collaborative and you see collaboration towards social action taking place at all levels, at the local level, to the international level. I also think that advances in technology and communications enable and facilitate that. And I think that there's a greater sense that diversity is a strength and not a weakness, not a source of problems or issues. And that appreciation of diversity and how different people can come together to create something great is a fundamental opportunity for us. And I also believe in enlightened leadership and how this community coming together is that of enlightened leaders coming together. And I think when enlightened leaders come together we're unstoppable. As the CEO and founder of women's fear I'm very much focused on unleashing the potential of women and advancing women's opportunities around the world. And to this end over the last four years we've reached over 10,000 leaders and have convened over 3,000 women around themes like leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, the economy and sustainability. And what I'd love to be able to contribute to the young global leader community is insight and experience from the work that we do at women's fear. I also would love to be able to push forward dialogues, conversations and collaborations at the world economic forum level, focus on women and advancing women's opportunities for leadership. And I look forward to being able to get the support and collaboration of my peers and of the world economic forum community towards the mission of unleashing women's potential.
