BeliEVE® supports HORP'S MISSION 2029 FOR A BETTER WORLD goal of 70 Female CEOs in the world's 500 largest Companies by end 2029

NEW YORK, March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- House of Rose Professional Pte (HORP). Ltd – global leaders in female executive leadership development today announced the launch of Break the ceiling touch the sky® BeliEVE® - a global, integrated executive search and development vertical that enables large Companies globally to hire, develop and leverage the world's best female, C-Suite talent and the most inclusive, high-performance leaders to power their businesses. BeliEVE® leverages HORP's proven best practices in Talent, Training and Transformation since 2014 and its insights and deep relationships with over 40000 senior female executive leaders as well as several thousand champions for DEI globally. BeliEVE® complements HORP's earlier existing Talent Brand – Dream Job International®. BeliEVE® is designed to specifically enable large Companies to meet or exceed their commitments to achieve gender parity at senior management levels.

Gender diversity at the C-Suite is a proven indicator of success, with organizations with gender-diverse leadership delivering better business results, innovation, corporate social responsibility and overall greater attraction for Companies as good employers.

BeliEVE® support's HORP's MISSION 2029 FOR A BETTER WORLD – the 10 year plan (announced by HORP in end-April 2020) to quintuple the number of Female CEOs (from 14 in 2020 to 70 in 2029) and double the number of Male CEOs (who actively advocate for gender diversity & inclusion) in the world's 500 largest companies by 2029 and in doing so, shape a better world. Currently, there are only 25 Female CEOs in the worlds 500 largest Companies, underlining the significant progress that needs to be made to unleash the potential of women in leadership at the very top of the world's largest Companies.

BeliEVE® will be led by Anthony A. Rose, Chairman and CEO, HORP and former Executive at Walmart and The Procter & Gamble Company, with the active leadership and guidance of HORP's team of global Ambassadors/Consultants – leaders with experience across the world's most successful companies including:
