Minter Ellison Rudd Watts NewsCathy Quinn Veuve Clicquot Business Award finalist Minter Ellison Rudd Watts’ Chair Cathy Quinn has been selected as one of the finalists for the 2010 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award. Each year, the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award honours an outstanding New Zealand Business woman who embodies the values of Veuve Clicquot and its pioneering entrepreneur Madame Clicquot. The criteria for the Award include corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurial drive and the ability to meet and overcome challenges to achieve success, leadership skills, an ability to motivate and inspire others and a healthy balance sheet. Richard Yeomans, General Manager of Veuve Clicquot's local subsidiary, said the Award recognised and celebrated women who demonstrated entrepreneurship, audacity and vision.
Cathy is a current member of the New Zealand Securities Commission and the New Zealand Capital Marketing Development Taskforce. She has written and led a number of seminars throughout New Zealand on securities, corporate and competition law issues and is regularly named in international legal directories as a leading corporate, mergers and acquisitions lawyer.
The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award first opened to New Zealand applicants in 2008. New Zealand's inaugural winner was entertainment entrepreneur Julie Christie, CEO Eyeworks Touchdown New Zealand. Judges cited Julie's entrepreneurship and tenaciousness as key attributes that singled her out from other applicants. Annah Stretton, CEO Stretton Group, was named as the 2009 New Zealand recipient of the Award. The third New Zealand winner of the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award will be presented at a cocktail function in Auckland on Thursday 25th March 2010. The winner will be presented with the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award silver trophy and a business class ticket to France to attend the 2010 International Business Women's Forum. This takes place at Veuve Clicquot in Reims, visiting Manoir de Verzy and the vineyards that were bought in Madame Clicquot's lifetime. A vine will be dedicated to her and each year, on Madame Clicquot's birthday, the winner will receive a gift of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame champagne to celebrate in style.
