Meet the millionaire CEO of Booking.com who bikes to work and is breaking the glass ceiling, one role at a time
She rides a bicycle to work. She is soft-spoken, wears no make-up, and does not put on any airs as head of one of the largest tech companies in the world. To present the key note address to an audience of around 200 people from 80 different nationalities, she walks up to the stage in casual attire - a black T-shirt and trousers. Her simplicity is not deceptive. It's both inspiring and heart-warming.
