In this latest series, first carried on MaltaCEOs 2024 – the annual publication featuring 50 of Malta’s most influential CEOs in wide ranging interviews and much more – we discover what C-suite heavyweights have to say about making and maintaining connections that count.
Co-Founder, Owner and Director at SHE: Social Hub Entrepreneurs, Sarah Woods is on an ongoing mission to nurture a supportive community of women in business hailing from different industries.
Effective networking can lead to connections, partnerships, referrals, increased visibility, and a deeper understanding of industry trends – all contributing factors to success in today’s competitive business environment. As a small business owner and a female entrepreneur, I find that networking is essential and have built my business around it.
“The modern business leader has a rich tapestry of networking options and operates in a global ecosystem where networking is both an art and a science.”
Sarah Woods, Co-Founder, owner and Director of SHE: Social Hub Entrepreneurs
“Nowadays networking has become more digital, global and data-driven, and relies heavily on personal branding, niche communities and virtual events. When connecting, executives are also prioritising deep relationships, diversity and inclusion.
“From high-energy industry conferences to digital platforms, the modern business leader has a rich tapestry of networking options and operates in a global ecosystem where networking is both an art and a science. Ultimately, networking should not be about surface level interactions, but about long-term relationships that can evolve into business opportunities.”
This feature was first carried on the 2024 edition of the annual print publication MaltaCEOs, the sister brand to MaltaCEOs.mt, both produced by Content House Group.
