What does it really take to build credibility, confidence, and community as a woman leading on a global stage?

In this episode of PerHer Perspective, host Marla Noel sits down with Hulya Kurt, Chapter Chair for the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) Geneva, to talk about leadership beyond borders and what founders actually need to grow.

Hulya shares her journey from growing up in Germany, navigating early adversity, rising through multinational organizations, and ultimately choosing entrepreneurship. The conversation goes deeper than titles and tactics, exploring how culture, consistency, and peer learning shape sustainable success.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:
• Why leadership and entrepreneurship look different in Switzerland and across Europe
• What makes WPO powerful (hint: it’s not networking, it’s peer-level problem solving)
• How consistency builds credibility faster than visibility
• Why collaboration is replacing competition in modern leadership
• How intuition plays a strategic role in high-stakes decisions

Hulya’s leadership philosophy is simple and sharp: “Try fast. Fail fast. Learn fast.”

This episode is for founders, CEOs, and women entrepreneurs who want smarter rooms, stronger decision-making, and real conversations about growth.
