Inkish.tv: Power Women in Print

Rob van den Braak/03/07/2017/Corporate News, Diversen, Events

Inkish.tv, the TV channel for the print industry, rightly shines a light on women in our industry. Quite remarkably many work in binderies and that their strong side is in managing growing companies. Watch these Power Women below or via this link.

Power Women in the printing industry

Power Women in the printing industry!

The VERY first episode on INKISH.TV two years ago was with Litka Dalgaard from the Danish niche bindery Dakabo. Being one of the best binders in the world, of course, requires excellence and competencies above average and though being a small company in Denmark – clients really appreciate the company’s products and services.

See a few examples here below and click on the image to see more:

Litka Dalgaard is in our opinion a Power Woman – promoting craftsmanship and products that we are certain will bring a lot of value to her clients. Two other Power Women is Jenny Holmén and Gitte J. Amby – both are CEO’s in huge binding companies in Sweden and Denmark. Women who have taken leadership and has a clear plan for growth, profitability, and excellence in their domain.

Power Woman Litka Dalgaard – premiering on INKISH.TV and an episode that we really like. See her approach to craftsmanship, management and increasing needs for niche products.

Power Woman Jenny Holmén took over a rather large bindery in Sweden a little more than a year ago – and in this film we see her talking about leadership, empowering employees and how to lead with a business plan. We will follow Jenny Holmén and her work – so stay tuned for an updated INKISH film from Aros Bokbinderi.

Power Woman Gitte Amby is the CEO of the largest bindery in Denmark. Growing through M&A’s is the plan and in this episode, she speaks about how important volume is when working with industrial binding.

Do women lead differently from men? Well – we are certain that all humans are different and therefore manage differently. Diversity is important and with a mix of men and women management of course, also should deliver the diversity of their customers and employees.

As some of our viewers already know, Girls Who Print has started to become an institution in the US with their GirlieAward and therefore we are also proud that INKISH.TV is committed to supporting the event at the upcoming Print 17 in Chicago.

Last year’s winner was Deborah Corn from PrintMediaCentr.com and below you can see the award ceremony.

We have covered several other interesting women here on INKISH.TV, but when we yesterday evening (CET) re-published the episode with Dakabo and Litka Dalgaard it was quite fun to see, that actually all three binderies that we have covered on INKISH.TV were all managed by women – so, therefore, this little tribute to women who prints.
