from others. Much like in team sports, victory comes
from cooperation, not domination.
This perspective echoes the vision of French scientist
and humanist Albert Jacquard, who argued that
cooperation fuels positive action, while competition
often breeds exclusion. He warned against societies
obsessed with rankings, urging us instead to teach: “Be
neither a winner nor a loser. Go beyond the absurd idea
of a leaderboard.”
Pénélope embodies this philosophy. Her leadership is a
refusal to play the game of division and a commitment to
building collective progress through ethics, creativity,
and shared responsibility.
Inspiring Women, Inspiring Change
Being recognized among The Most Inspiring Women
Icons to Follow in 2025 is more than an accolade for
Pénélope, it is a symbol of the values she champions.
“To me, it is both an honor and a responsibility,” she
says. “It means that my work is recognized, but it also
challenges me to continue inspiring others, especially
people to lead with ethics, creativity, and courage.”
She believes that women bring unique strengths to
leadership, including empathy, collaboration, and a long-
term perspective. More importantly, she sees women as
natural transmitters of knowledge and values, often
prioritizing mentorship and empowerment.
Her advice to women breaking barriers in male-
dominated industries is simple yet powerful: “Stay true
to your values. Be bold enough to take risks. And never
underestimate the power of perseverance and integrity.”
A Legacy of Ethics and Joy
When asked about her legacy, Pénélope doesn't speak in
terms of titles, profits, or accolades. Instead, she talks
about ethics, joy, and the simple taste of life.
“I want to be remembered as someone who aligned
actions with values, and who inspired others to do the
same. For me, joy and sharing, even in small, everyday
moments—are part of the legacy. They remind us why
we live, work, and lead.”
This human touch defines her. It's what makes her
leadership not only inspiring but also relatable.
Behind her roles and responsibilities lies a woman
who gardens, meditates, reflects, and cherishes
simplicity because she knows that true leadership
starts with being fully human.
The Road Ahead: Building a Meaningful and
Sustainable Society
As the world looks toward 2025 and beyond,
Pénélope's message is clear: each of us has a role
to play in building a more sustainable, ethical, and
inclusive society.
She envisions a future where profit and responsibility go
hand in hand, where organizations measure success by
their impact on people and the planet, and where
technology serves as a bridge between generations, not a
divide.
Her philosophy draws on both modern innovation and
ancestral wisdom. She often reminds audiences that
ancient and native practices, such as crop rotation or
community-centered philosophies like Ubuntu,
primordial Tradition still hold the keys to sustainable
living today.
“Sorority and fraternity are the parents of solidarity,” she
says. “When we want to build peace, we have to create
and share it. Everyone is a bridge and a compass. The
key is to know how to become better.”
