Grivita 53 Theatre, Studio Auditorium, Bucharest
Schoenherr Romania is proud to present the third edition of "Ella". An inspiring platform "from women for women", this event series is named after Ella Negruzzi, the first Romanian woman to practise as a lawyer. This year's edition brings together two extraordinary women, Mariana Gheorghe and Chris Simion-Mercurian, who have built enduring legacies in vastly different spheres: corporate leadership and cultural entrepreneurship. With them, Ella continues its mission to celebrate trailblazers who have shaped their fields and inspired generations.
Join us for an evening of stimulating discussion on what it means to drive initiatives that outlast us – whether transforming Romania's business environment or creating cultural infrastructure from the ground up. The recently opened Grivita 53 Theatre will provide the perfect setting for an evening of visionary conversations.
