On the afternoon of May 29, 2025, the luxurious space of The Reverie Saigon witnessed one of the most anticipated events of the year: Women Leader Forums 2025, gathering nearly 200 distinguished female leaders, entrepreneurs, and honored guests from both domestic and international spheres. Organized by Business Style Magazine and the Women Leaders International Network (WLIN Global), and executed by Nam Huong Media & Event, the event marked an important milestone in the journey to seek and honor the Top 100 Business Style Leaders, especially pioneering women leaders who embody distinctive identity and leadership spirit.
When appearance is accompanied by the power to construct
From the very first moments, the atmosphere at Women Leader Forums 2025 was illuminated by the presence, intellect, and aura of female leaders from diverse fields. Ms. Nguyen Thu Huong – Chairwoman of WLIN Global Holdings, CEO of Nam Huong Media Group, and Head of the Top 100 International Business Style Committee – opened the event with a profound speech: “Women are not only the keepers of the flame but also creators. Among nearly one million businesses in Vietnam, female entrepreneurs account for 20 to 24%, a telling figure about the courage and role of women in the modern economy.”
The message went beyond recognizing achievements; it was a declaration of the essence of leadership beauty: a beauty intertwined with responsibility, innovative thinking, and adaptability in a constantly changing world. This event was not merely an occasion to honor, but a place for women to inspire, connect, and promote sustainable initiatives for the community.
Shining with empathy and multidimensional intelligence
A highlight of the event was the special panel discussion “Women Leaders Shining Globally – Finding Opportunities Within Challenges”. This forum featured experienced female speakers sharing their entrepreneurial journeys, early setbacks, and how they gradually built sustainable value for their organizations and communities.
The discussion atmosphere was not only inspiring but also revealed practical strategies: from seizing opportunities in the digital age, building a reputable personal brand, to leading with empathy and wisdom. Messages such as “turning adversity into motivation” and “spreading influence through perseverance” helped to vividly shape the portrait of the new generation of women leaders: globalized yet true to their identity, strong yet retaining softness in their leadership style.
Honoring pioneering icons of 2025
The Gala Dinner “Timeless Beauty” was not just a feast for the eyes but also a stage for ideal role models. The high-end cultured diamond collection from the US — “Timeless Beauty” — was elegantly unveiled by the NOBLECO brand, featuring a runway show starring the outstanding nominated women leaders themselves.
Each step they took on the stage was a silent yet powerful declaration of women’s empowerment: from Women’s Power Queen Maria Truc Tran, Mrs. International Vuong Ngoc Loan, Runner-up Bang Chau, director Mai Thu Huyen, WLIN Saigon Chairwoman Nguyen Thu Nga, designer Dr. Quynh Paris, to entrepreneur Katy Nguyen, and more. They all stood there like guiding stars for the next generation of women.
The category for Pioneer Women Leaders 2025 was not only a recognition of achievements but also an invitation to spread positive values through concrete actions: creating jobs, elevating the image of Vietnamese women internationally, and keeping the flame of inspiration alive for the community.
Women Leader Forums 2025: Where values become vibrant legacies
Ending amid resounding applause at The Reverie Saigon, Women Leader Forums 2025 did not merely close a program but opened a new chapter for the community of Vietnamese women leaders. The values sparked today will continue to be nurtured through the upcoming series of activities in the Top 100 International Business Style 2025 journey.
The success of Women Leader Forums 2025 was made possible with the invaluable support of our distinguished sponsors. Their partnership not only elevated the grandeur of the event but also demonstrated a shared commitment to empowering women, fostering sustainable leadership, and celebrating the enduring values of elegance, courage, and social contribution.

The event demonstrated that the essence of leadership beauty does not lie in an ideal model, but in the ability to nurture vision, commit to community missions, and constantly improve oneself to become a living symbol for the next generation. That essence, just like the spirit of Women Leader Forums 2025, goes beyond appearance, reaching into the depth of the soul where intellect, emotion, and action converge.
