As the saying goes, the best way to know the future is to create it. A fitting example of this ideal can be found in the cover subject, Wendy Yap of PT Nippon Indosari Corpindo, better known as Sari Roti, the brand name of its popular bread products. She started her company back in 1995, growing it into the country’s dominant mass-market bread company. She had a clear vision, implemented on it, and created her—and her company’s—future. Now she is embarked on the largest-ever expansion of her business since its founding. Her story aptly supports the theme of “creating the future” that will be used for this year’s annual Inspiring Women conference. The same theme could also be applied to describe the women in the Inspiring Women package. It is meant to encompass empowerment, self-confidence and, of course, creativity. These women are on the forefront of creating the future, for themselves and for society.
