This fortnight has been a beautiful reminder of what Ivy represents: connection, growth, and shared purpose. Across the network, members continue to build, contribute, and inspire through their work and their presence. As we celebrate Diwali, I wish light and renewal to everyone marking this meaningful occasion. May it bring peace, clarity, and prosperity. October also highlights the importance of women’s health, and I want to thank Dr Melissa Li Wan Cheun, Chief Medical Officer at City Clinic, for extending such a thoughtful gesture to Ivy members in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (see the voucher below).

Now, I might be a little biased, but October holds special meaning for me personally, as it’s the month of my birthday, (and both of my sisters). October is a time that always reminds me of gratitude and family, and it’s this time of year when I’m encouraged me to sit and reflect on the things I have achieved and the new chapters ahead.

And finally, as the Founder of The Ivy Group, I would like to say how blessed I feel to be in such a privileged position, able to witness the remarkable momentum, support, and partnership of the women around me. This month, I’ve shared dinners, coffees, and conversations with so many incredible women, and I continue to be inspired by their vision and purpose. Their encouragement and energy strengthen the mission behind Ivy, motivating our small team to keep building, empowering, sharing, and amplifying. Thank you.
