What always drove me was my curiosity. That's what made me join Booking and not be afraid to leave a very successful job and then go into a startup.

People always travel no matter what.

We know that companies which have more women in leadership positions have a better performance.

As CEOs or board members, women are still underrepresented, and that gap is actually growing.

Every customer is different, and the travel experience is completely fluid, but the end goal is to find the best solutions.

I've always been curious and taken many risks, but that is quite atypical for a woman. On the other hand, I think that's the only way to grow beyond yourself.

And as a woman, you need to take risks. Don't stay too long in your own swim lane.

Not only do we need more women in the technology sector, we also clearly need to refocus energy on improving gender equality in the global economy.

We have many accommodation owners - people who own small hotels, villas and bungalows - and the digital economy has opened up a world of possibility for these business owners. Now, they can sell to and communicate with people around the world, and where Booking.com comes in is to help these accommodation owners adapt to the digital world.

Education is crucial in determining which profession women will choose, so it's important to spark interest in technologies at an early age.
