World’s Most Prominent Women Leaders in Business, 2024

Vol. 02 | Issue 10 | February 2024

World's Most Prominent Women
Leaders in Business, 2024
More often than not, women in leadership roles are
shifting jobs, and aspirational young women are
prepared to follow suit. If businesses want to truly,
sustainably advance gender equality, they must go above
and beyond the bare criteria. Women are already
noticeably underrepresented in leadership roles. For
years, fewer women have been rising through the ranks
as a result of the "broken rung" at the first step up to
management. Businesses are presently struggling to
retain the relatively small number of female executives
they have. Furthermore, all of these factors are
noticeably more apparent to women of color.
Although women in leadership roles often face barriers
that prevent them from progressing, they are just as
driven as men. They are more likely to experience
degrading microaggressions, such having their judgment
called into question or being mistaken for a lower-class
person. They are putting up more effort to support
inclusivity and worker well-being, but this crucial work
is taxing them and generally going unrecognized.
In this edition “World's Most Prominent Women
Leaders in Business, 2024”, World's Leaders features
woman leaders from various sectors which are thriving
in leadership and leading with best practices and
strategies to take their idea into action. The cover
features Wende Amerie serves as the President and Chief
Operating Officer (COO) of Corporate Edge, Inc., a
leadership advisory firm providing guidance to
prominent organizations. Amerie holds an MBA from
Golden Gate University and a bachelor's degree in
business. Before joining Corporate Edge, she
accumulated decades of experience in corporate
America, working with companies like Lee Hecht
Harrison, Key3Media, Fish and Richardson, and
Informatica.
As President and COO of Corporate Edge, she finds that
there is never a dull day and takes pleasure in witnessing
the positive impact that the firm's coaches make on
clients' lives, which has been a driving force for her
continued dedication to the organization.

talent as a Visual Artist, coupled with
her training at RISD, allows her to
approach Interior + Product Design

that of a Painter, Sculptor, Fashion

multi-layered narrative unique to
each project.
Throughout her career, Alison was
invited to lead the Miami studio for
YOO Ltd, a London-based Design

Hitchcox and design icon, Philippe
Starck. "Working alongside a design
legend like Philippe Starck was an
opportunity of a lifetime," says
Antrobus. "His inﬂuence on me will
remain forever." Early on in Alison's
career she also had the incredible
honor to work as a liaison for
Legendary Designers, Axel Vervoordt
and the late David Hicks for projects
in Miami which she refers to as her
“Master's Degree in Design”.

Mini Courses from Alivia Barrett
18 | February 2024

Alivia
K. Barrett
An Entrepreneur with a Heart for
Helping Others
“The concept of a minicourse was actually a
new thought. From research I had found,
most people were doing long courses and
then would have levels like 101, 201, 301,
401 and masters series. I wasn't ﬁnding
much in courses that would give small
amounts of information to digest quickly
and go right into implementing what was
learned. But that was exactly what I wanted
to do.”

In a turning of events, entrepreneur Alivia K. Barrett
started using her passion for helping others and
incorporated her teaching abilities with a bit of business
flare. She spent a few years after college working as a
mentor in a school system, but she soon realized that she
was ready for a change. Because of her abilities in
business, Alivia began managing multiple enterprises
concurrently for 20 years after that turn in careers. When
the world went virtual in 2020, Alivia felt compelled to
get back into teaching and began developing minicourses
online (ltkradio.com/minicourses) that combined her
interests in business, education and faith in God.
Her distinctive method combines these three worlds in
harmony with an excellent learning opportunity. Alivia is
passionate about interacting with people and fostering
their development. Everything she does shows it. Since a
few years ago, Alivia has been changing lives by
instructing these minicourses. The virtual platform is an
area of influence that is constantly expanding. Since that
shift, Alivia K. Barrett is part of that wave of online
resources and development. She wants to spend time on
a mission that matters to her and matters to others that
take these minicourses.
Initial stages
Young Alivia K. Barrett recalls longing for a
purpose—something that would identify her and be
greater than herself. Early on, her parents had a
significant impact on her. Her father was an excellent
public speaker who inspired audiences to think outside
the box. He was a pastor, a community club volunteer,
and a shepherd to those who went to their neighborhood
church. Her mother instilled in her a constant belief in
children's capacity for greater understanding. She crafted
and led musicals for people of all ages and taught in both
Sunday school and baby classes while teaching in a local
elementary during the week. Alivia wanted something
similar to what they both had, which were missions
bigger than themselves.
This journey grew for Alivia when she went with her dad
on a trip to St. Vincent.
Alivia says, "I could see kids and families that were
completely different from me. They were so grateful for
us being there. It made me want to jump in and help."
Alivia helped their school out in the yard. Although she
admitted that being hot or dirty wasn't her favorite thing,
she was nonetheless picking up very important
knowledge. She and others around her were given such
vitality by her presence, hard effort, and lack of
complaint. She yearned for more adventures!
Imagine that it was 1997 and Alivia was about to board a
plane for Kenya, Africa. She had collected enough cash
to cover a three-month internship that summer of
college. She set out to research the relationships between
Americans and Kenyans. She was looking to see if there
Joining Corporate World
Alivia recounts the moment when she was "finding
herself" in an opportunity when a business was being
presented to her. It was a wonderful chance for Alivia
and her expanding family. She was unaware that it
was the first in a string of occupa ons that she
thought were her des ny. It astonished Alivia how
much she felt at home in these unfamiliar
surroundings because being around business was
simply in her nature. She was managing teams,
scheduling, bringing in new clients, and doing all of
that while working from home before that was the
thing to do. She was really passionate and driven.
When 2020 arrived, she had almost 20 years of
experience managing small businesses in various
contexts. For Alivia's job to survive, she recalled
believing that everything had to change. She was not
only terrified but also inspired to succeed despite the
difficult situa on. Alivia had faith that God would
reveal to her a different route that would work— and
He did.
While out on a walk, Alivia heard from a mentor a
brand-new but really profound idea about riches. It
was the idea that building healthy soil both within
you and outside of you is the founda on of kingdom
wealth. Alivia was literally stopped in her tracks by
just that no on and how different business could
look. Although it seemed contradictory, Alivia claims
it was the beginning of a new journey that she
needed and started looking forward to.

was an assignment she could
pick up on. The information she
discovered was crucial to her
journey. Enter Alivia's
encounter with the
neighborhood Massai school.
These young people looked
extremely stylish. She
remembers that they were
wearing blue uniforms and had
the biggest, whitest smiles she
had ever seen. They could
hardly wait to meet her and
stroke her pale skin. It was
hilarious to Alivia, she thought.
Like they needed to be certain
that she was real.
Alivia stood up in front of the
class to speak about her family,
the journey from America to
their school, and her
relationship with God. She
could see the adorable ebony
children huddled together and
listening closely.
Alivia returned to the US,
continued in college, and
eventually earned a teaching
degree. She remembers thinking
that was the appropriate move
and the new beginning she was
ready to make. Nevertheless,
after a few years of mentoring
in a school system, she
discovered a new interest and
she was drawn to business and
managing businesses.

Ana
Tereza Basilio
A Renowned Arbitration Expert Serving Client with Excellence
Despite the fact that understanding and mastering group dynamics is
crucial for all leaders, there was a sense in our conversa ons that it
may, regre ably, be more likely to be put to the test if a female is in
charge of the group than a male. Although dealing with unconscious prejudice
can be challenging, it may present a chance to improve crucial listening skills
that might never be put to the test. Legal leadership is dis nct in and of itself.
Even though there are many common traits of eﬀec ve leadership, the
demanding technical exper se required of lawyers adds extra elements to
success in the ﬁeld.
Elected as a Leading Individual in the list of the best lawyers in the world in the
area of corporate li ga on by the Bri sh magazine Who`s Who`s, Ana Tereza
Basilio is a Founding Partner at Basilio Advogados and a renowned name in the
area of arbitra on.
24 | February 2024

Ana Tereza Basilio
Founding Partner
Basilio Advogados

Journey to the Best
Ana Tereza Basilio is a Brazilian
lawyer, completed her Bachelor of
Laws at the Cândido Mendes
University of Rio de Janeiro (UCAM)
in December 1989 and her graduation
in US Law at the University of
Wisconsin. She was a partner at Sergio
Bermudes Law Firm from 1990 to
1998 and an international partner at
Baker & McKenzie, responsible for the
civil and commercial litigation and
arbitration areas in Brazil, from July
2002 to 2005. She was an honorary
partner of the Andrade e Fichtner Law
Firm, in the civil and commercial
litigation and arbitration departments
from January 2006 to December 2008.
In 2008, Ana and her brother João
Basilio took on the challenge and
launched themselves into the new
project. They invited prominent
lawyers on the national scene and
graduates of law firms within the
country. They founded Basilio
Advogados Law Firm, which has
grown exponentially in specialized
civil litigation, arbitration, and
consulting firms in the past 12 years.
In her journey, Ana had the honor to be
a judge of the Regional Electoral Court
of the State of Rio de Janeiro, from
December 2010 to July 2015. She was
a member of the International Chamber
of Commerce (ICC), based in Paris, in
the Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
(ADR) commission, Director of
Mediation and Arbitration of the
Institute of Brazilian Lawyers elected
in 2018 for the biennium 2018-2019,
and President of the Mediation and
Arbitration commissions of this
Institute since 2019. In 2019, Ana was
nominated as Member of the
Permanent Forum of the Arbitration
Commission of the Escola de
Magistratura of the State of Rio de
Janeiro (EMERJ), and in August 2021,
together with great names of the legal
profession, she founded the Instituto
Brasileiro de Estudos em Proteção de
Dados - IBRADADOS, assuming its
presidency until April 2022.
Basilio Advogados
Basilio Advogados is well-known
among Brazilian families and is skilled
in providing legal services in the fields
of corporate, real estate, family law,
and civil litigation. It focuses on
business and is built around serving
huge corporations in a variety of
industries, including public service
concessionaires, healthcare, mining,
banking, construction, retail, and
individual customers. The firm's
diverse team works in a variety of
industry sectors, but it excels at
strategic civil litigation and arbitration.
They respond to demands that have
both domestic and international
implications, as Ana is proud to state.
Gains Accolades and Recognition
In November 2018, Ana was elected to
serve as the Vice-President of the
Brazilian Bar Association, Section of
the State of Rio de Janeiro for the
2019–2021 biennium, and in
November 2021, she was chosen to
serve once more for the 2022–2024
triennium. The Permanent Forum of
Transparency and Administrative
Probity, of the School of Magistrates of
the State of Rio de Janeiro-EMERJ,
nominated Ana as a member in May
2022. She was awarded the Medal of
Judicial Merit, from the Court of
Justice of Rio de Janeiro, in 2014 and
the Medal of Merit from the Federal
Regional Court of Rio de Janeiro in
2015; she was finally awarded the
Tiradentes Medal in September 2019
by ALERJ - Legislative Assembly of
the State of Rio de Janeiro and
recently, in August, 2022, she had the
honor of being awarded the Medal of
Merit Pedro Ernesto, conferred by the
illustrious councilors that make up the
City Council of the city of Rio de
Janeiro.
Growing as a Litigator
It is everyone's responsibility to learn
and evolve. Evolving means growing
by putting down strong and deep roots.
It means consolidating itself in the
market, having a strong base, and
transmitting security to the customers
and employees. Ana herself keeps
changing, modifying, and developing
in accordance with society and the law.
She keeps studying, improving herself,
exchanging experiences with her
colleagues, and dedicating her time to
each new challenge she comes across.
"Solving our customers' challenges is
the result we seek, the fruit we want to
reap day after day. Nowadays, what I
see that young lawyers lack, not all of
them, but in some, is precisely this
constant search for learning, the desire
to grow, to develop." Exhorts Ana
As per her considerations, one cannot
be conformist and stagnate. If society
changes, the law adapts to new
realities, laws fall out of favor, and
new laws are written and enacted, then
this evolution must be followed.
Secrets of Success
Ana, João and Márcio Notini, three
partners, run Basilio's management.
Operations and financial duties are
managed on a daily basis by João and
Márcio Notini. When it comes to
working with clients, managing cases,
putting teams together, creating
procedural tactics, and, of course,
meetings, dispatches, and oral
arguments, Ana is in charge. Ana
intends to keep up her aggressive legal
advocacy since she finds her greatest
enjoyment and satisfaction in being at
the forefront of her clients' and their
interests.
Another source of her happiness is her
horses, who steal her attention from
work. From childhood only she craves
26 | February 2024

for horse riding. "It is through my
animals that I recharge my energies. It
is a sport and a hobby that I
recommend to everyone." Says Ana.
Being on such a success peak is also a
reason for having the best team, Ana
finds that each team is made up of
professionals with unique
characteristics that, together, add to
everyone on the team. She always
looks for someone with a combative
spirit and a nonconformist soul, who
should be passionate. In addition to
technical qualifications, Ana is in
search for ethical person who shares
relentless pursuit of excellence to
provide best outcome to the clients.
Ana adds, "This is because we are
lucky to have an extremely qualified
and truly combative team of
professionals, but always bearing in
mind that our priority is work that is
worthy of our clients, transparent, and
ethical.»
Impacted by Technology
Although digitalization in the judiciary
was unthinkable 15 years ago,
technology is now used for agility,
transparency, and procedural speed.
These developments are amazing. The
judges and lawyers are now more
connected thanks to digitalization,
which is a major step forward for the
legal profession. Ana explains that it is
simpler to observe protocol and behave
vehemently across the nation's territory
while remaining in the comfort of one's
home. Lawyers can also participate in
procedural acts, hearings, oral
arguments, dispatch at the virtual
counter, distribute the action, and
monitor notarial steps overall, all from
a cell phone. According to Ana, this
generation was affected by technology
in a way that made digitization the
foundation of the fundamental
principle of access to justice.
Statement on Women's
Professionalism
Since women gained professional
freedom, there have been many
differences in the range of salaries. Ana
asserts that women have already
proven their worth in terms of
professionalism and commitment;
however, they are not naive, and some
issues, such as women being paid less
than men and motherhood being taboo
in certain areas, need to be addressed
in the corporate and legal sectors. Ana
highlighted the current scenario, "It is
a matter of time, a short time, until the
quantitative scenario of female
leadership in large offices is equated
with the male one. Based on which
arguments do I say this? Certainly,
based on history. The legal career, as
many others, stopped being eminently
masculine because every day, more
doors opened for women.»
Ana believes that success does not
depend on gender; the one with an
intellectual mindset and determination
surely gains peak position, it's just a
matter of time.
Suggestions for Young Leaders
Ana suggests that future leaders should
concentrate on their studies and work
to get better. She advises that in order
to overcome laziness and give up
quickly, one must possess a passionate
spirit. Advocacy, in Ana's opinion, is a
rewarding and democratic job. One
should keep in mind that success only
comes through perseverance and hard
work. Although cliche, these
conclusions are frequently true.

Redeﬁning Stress
Relief with Technology
and Innovation
28 | February 2024

The Company
Sensate serves as a powerful life tool that empowers
individuals to effectively manage and overcome the daily
stresses and anxieties that arise in today's fast-paced world.
By enabling users to regulate their body's natural response
to external stressors, Sensate helps them shift their state
from one of tension and overwhelm to a state of calm,
relaxation, and clarity. The patented technology utilized by
Sensate involves the use of infrasound played against the
sternum, combined with proprietary audio soundscapes
experienced through headphones. This unique audible and
tactile resonance experience has shown remarkable
potential in calming both the mind and body.
Stress is an inherent part of life, but how we respond to it
and build resilience determines whether it has a negative
impact on our well-being and those around us. Studies have
shown that a significant percentage of the workforce, with
83% of US workers, experiences work-related stress, with
25% considering their job as the primary source of stress in
their lives. Furthermore, workplace stress has been reported
to affect personal relationships by 76% of US workers
(*The American Institute of Stress).
Sensate's mission is to help millions of people enhance their
stress resilience and become even more remarkable
individuals, equipped to navigate the challenges of our
times. By empowering individuals with the tools and
techniques to effectively manage stress, Sensate aims to

in their personal and professional lives.
Through its innovative technology and commitment to
making a positive impact, Sensate strives to be a catalyst
for personal growth and resilience, ultimately helping
individuals lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
30 | February 2024

From Advisor to CEO
Anna's decision to embark on her journey with Sensate was
driven entirely by a strong sense of mission. Initially, she
had no inclination towards taking on a startup CEO role.
Her involvement began as an advisor, supporting Stefan,
the co-founder and Integrated Healthcare pioneer, in
bringing the first prototype to market. As she transitioned
into roles such as Board Director and Consultant, her focus
was on facilitating product launch, sales, marketing, and
gathering valuable data.
After a few weeks, Anna observed adoption and retention
numbers that exceeded her expectations, indicating the
product's potential for global impact. It was at this point
that she recognized the significance of the opportunity and
made the leap of faith. Despite having prior experience in
tech startups and CEO roles encompassing consumer
hardware and software tech, Anna was well aware that the
startup journey is an arduous one, marked by numerous
challenges and 'near-death' experiences in the early stages.
It requires immense determination, resilience, and
motivation to navigate through daily obstacles and find the
energy, solutions, and courage to move forward.
Once Anna committed to the role, she never looked back.
What continues to drive her every day is witnessing the life-
changing impact that Sensate's products have on users, the
incredible team she works with, and the continuous
personal growth and learning she experiences along the
way. These factors serve as a constant source of energy and
motivation, reinforcing her dedication to the mission of
Sensate and its transformative effects on individuals' lives.
Role as CEO
As an early-stage co-founder and CEO, Anna feels it can
sometimes feel like absolutely everything is your direct
responsibility. She states, “We're at a stage now where
we're transitioning to a slightly more process driven and
less informal way of working. We've brought this transition
right to the surface and it was actually a big part of our
OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) for the last quarter.” As
Sensate grows, Anna's role evolves from being a "Chief
Doer" to focusing on strategic growth, team building, and
organization development. Fundraising remains a
significant part of her job, which she enjoys and actively
engages with investors.
Transforming the Wellness Landscape
Over the past three years or more, Sensate has
undergone significant transforma ons as a
company and as a team. The core long-term team
has experienced substan al growth and evolu on,
while new members have joined at different
stages of the journey to fulfill specific needs. With
a strong background in technology, it has been
deeply ingrained in the business culture to
leverage tools, data, and tech to support and
accelerate various aspects of the business.
Sensate is not solely a wellness tech company
focused on innova on and technology
development; they also explore how other
innova ons can enhance their opera ons, delivery
processes, and support their people. The team
ac vely explores and tests a mul tude of new AI-
powered tools, incorpora ng them into different
processes and business domains where
applicable.
As for the product itself, Sensate will con nue to
evolve through ongoing research and refinement
of the system. There is a growing number of
individuals worldwide who require a simple and
effec ve means to relax, alleviate stress, or quickly
recharge in just 10 minutes. The feedback

Sensate eagerly an cipates how their con nued
technological innova on and research will drive
the future evolu on of their product. Sensate

Not content with her achievements in
France, Maïthé Quintana launched the
IKIGAI JUNIOR process in 2020,
training coaches to help young
individuals position themselves in their
studies and careers. Her commitment
to education and personal development

Turning Setbacks into Opportunities
Maïthé's insights into the challenges
faced by emerging women leaders are
both profound and empowering. She
recognizes that self-confidence often
wavers due to the influence of limiting
beliefs imposed by various sources,
including the media, people in one's
life, or early experiences. These beliefs
can manifest as fears of failure,
imposter syndrome, and the need for
discipline and a clear vision for their
projects.

failures as opportunities for growth is
particularly noteworthy. Maïthé views
her own experiences of business
difficulties not as failures but as
stepping stones to eventual success.
She draws a parallel between the
process of learning to walk as a child,
where falling is an integral part of the
journey. In this analogy, each fall is a
valuable learning experience that
contributes to eventual mastery.

Following Her Calling in the
Business World
Maïthé's life journey is a remarkable
testament to her resilience and
determination. Despite facing
challenges in her early education and
entering the workforce at a young age,
she quickly realized her true calling lay
in the business world. Her career path
is a testament to her ability to turn
obstacles into opportunities.
Starting as a secretary, Maïthé honed
her sales skills through door-to-door
visits and eventually climbed the
corporate ladder, becoming Sales
Director at Club Internet. Her
entrepreneurial spirit led her to take
over a struggling company, Booster
Game, which she successfully
restructured and turned into a thriving
business, serving well-known clients.
In 2008, Maïthé founded her own
investment fund, Dharma et Associés,
demonstrating her versatility and
aptitude for business leadership.
Inspired by her own challenging
educational journey, Maïthé Quintana
established the Centre National de
l'Innovation Pédagogique (CNIP) in
2014. This institution focuses on adult
education, teaching emotional
management techniques and neuro-
sales management, among other skills,
using the neuroscience-based N-ASS®
method.
In 2015, she expanded her educational
efforts by founding the Centre
International de l'Ikigai, where students
learn to master their abilities and
develop soft skills through the
neuroscience-based N-Ass method.
Maïthé's approach to education

growth rather than as insurmountable
obstacles.
Embracing Imperfection
Maïthé emphasis on the importance of
commitment and honesty in leadership
reflects timeless values that hold true in
the modern business world. She
highlights the significance of keeping
one's word and maintaining integrity,
values that were once symbolized by a
simple handshake. In an era where
trust in business dealings can be
eroded, her emphasis on these
principles serves as a reminder of their
enduring importance.
Her perspective on success,
characterized by the belief that "I've
got nothing to lose," reflects a mindset
of daring and calculated risk-taking.
This approach acknowledges the
balance between audacity and taking
calculated risks. It's a mindset that
encourages innovation and growth by
embracing the idea that perfection isn't
necessary; progress and learning come
from taking action.
Maïthé's willingness to embrace
imperfection and pursue projects even
when they are not 100% finalized
reflects an entrepreneurial spirit and a
commitment to continuous
improvement. Her reference to
"versions 2.02" suggests that ongoing
refinement and iteration are integral to
the process of growth and success.
Anticipation is the Key
Maïthé's views into entrepreneurship
highlight the challenges and sacrifices
that come with leading a business. Her
focus on anticipation underscores the
importance of being prepared for
various situations, including dealing
with non-paying customers, financial
challenges, and the potential risks of
bankruptcy. As a business leader, the
ability to anticipate and respond to
such challenges is essential for survival
and growth.

stresses that entrepreneurs face, emphasizing that it's
not a path for everyone. The personal sacrifices,
including missing out on family moments and
navigating marital and family issues, are part of the
reality for many entrepreneurs. This perspective
sheds light on the human side of entrepreneurship,
where individuals often grapple with the
complexities of balancing personal and professional
life.
Her mention of managing the emotional well-being
of teams highlights the importance of leadership
skills beyond business acumen. Effectively

leader's ability to defuse emotional tensions and
support team members contributes to a healthier
work environment.

be paid for.

concept applicable to individuals and groups
alike. It can reduce emotional burdens and

and fostering innovation.

computers to the integration of
technology into daily life. She

while focusing on human
interactions and collective
