Who do you look up to in the trade world and why? We would love to know the women trade expert that inspire you!
All practitioners and academics, but specially the ones that are in high exposure positions. Getting up there in a male-dominated circle takes a lot of courage, self-confidence and hard work. I do especially enjoy Inu's insights and recommendations. They have a solid base, they are nuanced, practical/doable and meaningful.

The feeling of belonging to a group of women interested in the same topics I am and who fight/have fought the same professional battles is very reassuring to me.
