“Through our work, we have experienced, first hand, the unique ‘multiplier effect’ that female entrepreneurs can have, not only on their own communities, but on the broader global economy. From this, we developed the theme ‘Pay It Forward’ for this year’s Dell Women’s Entrepreneur event and want to help established, successful female entrepreneurs support other up-and-coming female entrepreneurs through the sharing of knowledge, networks, technology and capital. During the event we will launch an exciting initiative to engage the community and make this happen,” said Karen Quintos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Dell.
