Three entrepreneurs. Three inspiring journeys. One shared belief: growth begins when opportunity meets determination.

After months of mentorship, learning, coaching sessions, and pitch training, we are proud to celebrate the winners of She’s Next 2025, supported by ING Romania and Visa.

🥇 Iulia Suciu, founder of ZEN-VITA
🥈 Cristina Olteanu, founder of AlbAlb
🥉 Carina Sava, founder of Watermelon Agency

Selected from nearly 1,000 women entrepreneurs and among 10 exceptional finalists, these founders stood out through their vision, resilience, and commitment to building businesses with purpose and impact.

Their stories remind us why initiatives like She’s Next matter. When women are given access to mentorship, community, knowledge, and funding, ideas become businesses, and businesses become drivers of meaningful change.

A special greeting to our dear Carina Sava, a BWFR Leadership Program alumna. We are proud to see members of our community continue to grow, lead, and reach new milestones. Congratulations, dear Carina! 💙

Congratulations to this year's winners and to every entrepreneur who had the courage to take part in the journey. The future of entrepreneurship is brighter because of women like you. 🙌

A community is strongest when it’s backed by partners who genuinely believe in what it stands for. 💙

A sincere thank you to Avon Space - our long-standing powering partner for over 10 years. Your trust, dedication, and vision have been part of this journey from the very beginning, and it means more than we can say.

We also want to extend our gratitude to Roxana Popescu and Ana-Maria Nicolae for sharing their perspectives on leadership values and for inspiring every one of us along the way.

Your ongoing support goes far beyond a partnership. It’s a real commitment to empowering women, championing leadership, and creating spaces where meaningful conversations, learning, and growth can thrive.

Year after year, you’ve helped strengthen a community rooted in collaboration, confidence, and shared progress. 🙌

Behind every progressive community, there are people who quietly hold the vision together. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible management team of the BWFR Leadership Program, Edition 7 - Roxana Craciun, Gabriela Dura, Ana Maria Genoveva Conache, Iuliana Pirvu, Larisa Bucur, and Janine Bonteanu.

This program would not be what it is without the dedication, care, and leadership of the incredible management team standing behind it every single day. From shaping conversations and creating opportunities, to supporting every participant with intention and heart - their work goes far beyond organization. It creates impact, trust, and belonging.

Grateful to learn, grow, and build alongside such inspiring women. 🙌

And just like that, Edition 7 has written its final chapter. 💙

What happened in that room yesterday will stay with everyone who was there. Our leaders didn't just present projects; they shared pieces of themselves. Their courage, their growth, their truth. And the room felt every word.

To every leader of Edition 7 - thank you. For showing up, even when it was hard. For asking the difficult questions. For choosing to grow. What you carried into that room yesterday took months to build and a lifetime to carry forward. We are endlessly proud of you.

🙌 To our incredible management team - thank you for helping build a space where every woman who is ready to lead can rise.
🙌 To our incredible partners Avon Space, Essity, Alka - Asa cm iti place, Mentor Capital Holdings BV, and EVO - none of this happens without your lasting support.
🙌 A special appreciation to our mentors and speakers for being the backbone of this journey.

This is what seven years of growth, collaboration, and togetherness look like.

We have a date tomorrow! 🙌

Each one carries months of reflection, challenge, and real transformation into the room.hare what a year of leadership development looks like when it's truly lived.

Each one carrying months of reflection, challenge, and real transformation into the room.
They've sat with hard questions about who they are as leaders. They've navigated burnout, rebuilt confidence, learned to lead teams with empathy and clarity, and turned their real-world challenges into solutions that matter. Tomorrow, they bring all of it to the stage.

Their final leadership projects aren't presentations, they're proof. Proof that growth is possible, that leadership is personal, and that when women are given the right space and support, they rise in ways that move everyone around them.

Hosting this milestone is Osnat Peled - BWFR founder, president
📍 Bucharest · 13.05.2026 · 16:00–20:00

➡️ Please note: This workshop is exclusive to our participants, follow along here for live reflections and key takeaways.

What if the right support could shape how you begin?

Through She’s Next Program, supported by ING Romania and Visa, we hear from Oana Craioveanu as she reflects on the early stages of building something from the ground up where ideas meet uncertainty, and learning happens in real time.

Her journey is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from having all the answers, but from moving forward with intention, guidance, and the willingness to keep going. 🙌
