Isabel Scholten is the founder of the Ardiendo international, a human resources consultancy in Europe. She had been a practicing lawyer for many years, specializing in family law, before inventing her own profession. As an entrepreneur and business woman, she managed to open a number of enterprises, some of which are based in Switzerland and have combined to form international giants. Her first experience as an entrepreneur was working with the Sociétiy International in France, where she developed the Ardiendo international vision and the principles on which it is built. Today, she is one of the most important faces in the HFT (High Frequency Trading) world. She is a partner at Ardeo.
What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? Scholten bases her work on the idea that people are not so different from each other, and that being successful in one’s career can help you become successful in others. In other words, if you are successful in your business, you will be successful in others, too. The basic premise behind Scholten’s philosophy is that you have the power to shape your own destiny by choosing the right career path.
As a manager and professional woman, it would be easy for her to focus solely on her own personal growth. However, her dedication to helping others succeed has made her a great example for many to follow. As a member of the Ardiendo team, Scholten is not only able to take care of her personal development but also her customer relations. A legal representative of the firm, she is free to travel and meet international clients without worrying about the level of her earnings.
