Sophie embodies everything that could be associated with International Women’s Day and is truly a force to be reckoned with. Her approach to life is incredible, facing challenges with unwavering determination and transforming obstacles into opportunities with remarkable grace. The wisdom and experiences she will share with our delegates in Malta will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact, empowering them to embrace their own potential and drive positive change in their communities and beyond.”

Lo Bue-Said adds that ahead of International Women’s Day, Advantage is also showcasing many other inspiring women who are also speaking at The BTA / Advantage Travel Partnership Corporate Travel Summit in London later this week, including: Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE, Jenny Southan, Editor, Founder and CEO of Globetrender, Justine Baynes, CEO of British Wheelchair Basketball, and Rachel Tonge, Vice President SME Client Management at American Express Global Business Travel.

“We couldn’t think of more fitting speakers to highlight the spirit of International Women’s Day, and we look forward to the invaluable insights” said Lo Bue-Said.

“Those who know me well will know that I am passionate about promoting inspiring talent and creating lasting opportunities for people. 75% of my current leadership team consists of exceptional female talent, and across our business over 75% of our workforce is female. This representation isn’t just about numbers—it reflects our commitment to creating an environment where woman can thrive, and having the best people in role, leading and shaping the future leaders of the travel industry,” concluded Lo Bue-Said.
