Mouna Sepehri says : I want to go back to what said Olajumoke : No matter what, nobody can not take it from you once you get it by yourself (Means the background). I totally agree with this has been said. Large companies don´t expect companies to be good and with diversity and gender equity. The Car industry is dominated by the male and in parallel, our clients are mostly spending on women.In fact, 60% of our clients are directly or indirectly influenced in the buying decision for purchasing a car.

QUESTION TO THE SPEAKERS DURING THE TALK OF PLENARY SESSION-------------------------------------------------
Rahma Sophia Rachdi asked a question to Mouna Sepheri : You are yourself a woman in a senior position executif Renault Nissan and you speak of a high percentage of women having strong influence on purchasing a car, how come then, that there is still no dedicated place to the women's handbag in a car nowadays?
Is it because there are not enough female designer for considering it in the vehicle's cabin space?-----------------------------------
Answer of Mouna Sepheri : That's a good question because by the way, imagine that we have recently launched the new car Capture signed by Renault Nissan and the designer who has performed the interior design is a woman, and she thought and conceived the space spared for handbags in the cockpit ! This car is exposed here at the Women's Forum and I invite you to test it. ---------------------------------Michel Landel a little be shy, being in minority as a man, alongside four other strong ladies, said impressed “ I´m very inspired by these three ladies. My company employs more and more women, in key positions because they contribute to the success of the firm. And I always remember that we can all make something in this world and never give up. ----------------------------------------That was the right word of the end of this session livery by a man surrounded by all these brilliant women, who have highly succeeded their careers. --------------------------------------------The forum is open from now, I will enjoy the two days of workshops, Plenary sessions, meetings, interviews, makeup session at Sephora corner, back massage at Renault Corner, having pictures taken at the photo call, take a tea or coffee at Kusmi Corner, rest in a lounge sofa, charging my smartphone's battery, and even having fun with the robot at Blue Frog, who can express the joy ... like me at that time accurate !
