Lotte Rensen

Lotte knows everything there is to know about women in business, female leadership and in particular, the women’s quota. It’s her passion, she’s an advocate. An advocate without armpit hair, but with knowledge, skill and lipstick. Lotte’s strength lies in her ability to create movements that spark social change. She is a leading light in fueling social debate about important issues in the field of women’s rights. Furthermore, Lotte advocates for opportunities and rewards befitting female young professionals and entrepreneurs just starting out within her renowned community, ‘AM’, which stands for ‘Ambitieuze meisjes’ (ambitious girls). She does this with conviction and verve. Which is exactly what Lotte will bring to The Self-Made Summit for you to experience first-hand.

Speaking at The Self-Made Summit about
The women’s quota. Why? Because it is still pretty hard to form a well-founded opinion about it. Has your favorite magazine published articles about the benefits of the women’s quota? Then it’s probably had you leaning towards the opinion that the women’s quota should be introduced. And then what if another really interesting publication brings the other side of the coin to light? It’s probably going to shake up your opinion, right? And not to forget your family, friends and partners who all have their own ideas. This is why Lotte is going to break down the women’s quota in simple terms, supported by hard facts, at The Self-Made Summit. So you can determine whether or not a women’s quota suits your vision and ideas. From here on out, you will be more than prepared when the term ‘women’s quota’ comes to the fore in any conversation. In her talk, Lotte will go into detail about the facts that correspond with popular opinions in the media landscape, analyse the impact of #metoo on the emancipation of women in the workplace, clarify how quotas correspond to the challenges that are still prevalent in gender equality in the Netherlands and disclose the target numbers associated with these challenges.

We know her from
Lotte is the founder of the AM (‘Ambiteuze Meisjes’ or ‘Ambitious Girls’) community which, within a period of eight years, has grown to be the largest online community for young female talent with nearly 40,000 members. With managing partner Malou Muller by her side, Lotte strives to create an environment in which young female professionals and ambitious entrepreneurs can work on realizing their career goals responsibly, with equal opportunities and rewards. Lotte’s goal is to ensure that all women can participate in all aspects of society and that the business world is a representative reflection of this. She also works for Rutgers, an international human rights organization that investigates the crossing of boundaries in the workplace and which successfully lobbied for the extension of parental leave in the Netherlands. Lotte’s work championing women’s emancipation and gender equality was rewarded with a Viva400 award in the category ‘World Improvers’, as well as a nomination for the ‘Joke Smit’ incentive award; an important recognition from the government awarded annually by the Minister of Education, Culture and Science.

With her commitment to the female cause, Lotte has so far managed to raise more than half a million euros in public donations for SheDecides; the international women’s rights movement founded by former minister Ploumen and which is committed to improving women’s access to contraception and safe abortion. Lotte is compelled to break taboos and is known for speaking openly about her personal experiences in relation to the causes she’s committed to.
