The Power of Women in Business: Wendy Appelbaum is a force of nature, a titan of South African business, a dedicated philanthropist, and a fierce advocate for women’s empowerment.
We are honoured to be refeaturing her for WECAN today as part of our Summer Recap Series.
From co-founding the Women’s Investment Portfolio (Wiphold), the first all-woman-run company to list on the stock exchange, to fighting for constitutional change to protect the poor from predatory micro-lending, Wendy’s career is a masterclass in boldness, precision, and purpose. S
he is the daughter of Sir Donald Gordon, founder of the Liberty Group, and has owned the De Morgenzon wine estate in Stellenbosch since 2003.
Appelbaum is one of the richest women in South Africa. In this conversation, she pulls back the curtain on how she transitioned from finance to founding the world-class De Morgenzon Wine Estate, where she continues to champion women in agriculture and industry.
The Power of Women in Business is never to be underestimated! Women-led boards are more efficient, collaborative, and effective. Being bold and brave is a non-negotiable, and one should always strive to leave a legacy. Wendy’s philosophy is simple: if you’re going to do something, do it properly.
This conversation is a must-watch for anyone looking to challenge the status quo, lead with conviction, and leave a meaningful \"ding in the universe.\" \"Whatever you do in life... one should really try and leave a legacy that you're proud of, a legacy that your children are proud of, and an example to others. If we can do that... I think that you'll leave a ding in the universe.\" Thank you, Wendy. We are so inspired by your boldness, leading by example!
