Verdens nye entrepreneur-stjerner i Monte Carlo

Tv-programmet "Danmark i Vækst" er taget til Monte Carlo for at følge finalen til Ernst & Young's konkurrence 'World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011". 

Thomas Ross sætter fokus på, hvad der skal til. Han har tre innovative og karismatiske forretningsfolk - alle lande-vindere -  i studiet. Kendetegnende er, at de vender den økonomiske krise til en fordel og de har alle deres egne dollars on the line.

Men den helt store stjerne på entrepreneur-himlen i øjeblikket er Olivia Lum fra Singapore.  jyskebank.tv fik, som det første medie i verden, et interview med hende. Jurymember, CEO, Diane Forman fortæller, hvad Olivia Lum kan. En fantastisk historie.

... og som entrepreneur skal man mestre diciplinen at mingle og lyn-netværke uden at træde i for mange spinatbede....

Blå bog Olivia Lum:

Olivia Lum, Group CEO and president of Hyflux Limited, from Singapore, was last night named the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 at an awards ceremony held in Monte Carlo's Salle des Etoiles. Olivia was picked from among the 49 country finalists vying for the title, each of whom had already been named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year in their home countries. This year saw more female finalists - six in total - than ever before.

Olivia founded Hyflux in 1989 with two staff and start-up capital of $US15,000. Today, Hyflux has become one of the world's leading desalination suppliers. It is publicly traded with revenues of US$450m, employing more than 2,300 people in operations and projects in Southeast Asia, China, India, the Middle East and North Africa. (Kilde: Ernst & Young.)
