From solo mum to multi-millionaire
One of New Zealand's most successful businesswomen, Diane Foreman, has written a book about getting to the top and why she thinks businesses need to work harder to get more females into executive and board roles.
In the Arena charts her rise from a 21-year-old solo mum barely able to pay her mortgage. Today she is worth about $180 million and is widely acknowledged as one of New Zealand's leading entrepreneurs.
The book is full of business advice and strongly promotes the idea of women pushing for more executive roles.
