“We should all, men and women alike, be measured by our skills and experience on the job, not by our gender”
Rea Tjoa Algreen – founder of 1 People
You say you are driven by your family and their unique views on the world. Tell us something about them.
I am definitely driven by our two lovely daughters. They have made our lives better in every way and inspired us to do more good in the world. I am no doubt that these young generations will reach even higher, they will revolutionize so many things and come up with innovations for the betterment of all living on this planet.

Women aren’t often in roles of leadership, how is it like being a woman and running a business? Have you ever felt like your career path could have been easier if you were a man? Why?
While it is true that there are some systemic disadvantages towards women in certain cultures, this has never been something I was up against growing up in Denmark. I believe women nowadays are as skilled and competent as men.
We should all, men and women alike, be measured by our skills and experience on the job, not by our gender. When we only focus on gender we have a tendency to lose the main point, which is qualifications.
As a businesswoman, I am lucky to have been surrounded by supportive people and a conducive environment. Hopefully I can inspire others to follow their passion.
