The organisation\u2019s co-president, Jo\u00eblle Sambuc-Bloise, is also at the helm of a successful company that offers consulting and investment opportunities, including in sectors such as renewable energy as well as medical and biological technology. She spoke to us about her experiences of working in Japan, the issues that face women pursuing a career on a local or international scale, and her opinion on Prime Minister Abe\u2019s recent claim that powerful women are key to Japan\u2019s future economic success. She believes that women should not always \u201csettle for the second best choice\u201d, and that the association\u2019s events can help working women to break down cultural barriers, exchange ideas and make inspiring connections. For more information about upcoming NBWA events and how to join, see their website at nbwa.jp."}
