Carmen Jiménez
founder
Carmen – The Social Butterfly
Meet Carmen, our vibrant Mexican Girlie who moved to the Netherlands five years ago for love! While embracing Dutch life, she never leaves her Mexican roots behind, bringing warmth, energy, and a sparkly touch to everything she does. As the social heart of the duo, Carmen is the mastermind behind our gatherings, events, and community connections. If there’s a fun get-together happening, you can bet Carmen is behind it!

Marie van Hoorn
founder
Marie – The Tech & Marketing Whiz
Originally from Costa Rica, Marie moved to the Netherlands four years ago for love—both in life and in her work! As our IT-marketing Girlie, she’s the genius behind the coding, strategy, and all things marketing. A bit of a self-proclaimed workaholic (though she prefers to call it passion), Marie brings creativity, innovation, and a touch of organized chaos to the team.

Our Value
Guiding Principles That Shape Our Purpose
Inclusivity & Support
We foster a welcoming and judgment-free environment where every woman feels valued, heard, and uplifted.
Growing & Learning
We encourage continuous personal and professional development through skill-building, mentorship, and shared knowledge.
Networking & Collaboration
We create opportunities to connect with like-minded women, build meaningful relationships, and support each other’s ambitions.
Fun & Friendship
We believe strong connections are built through shared experiences, laughter, and genuine friendships.
“We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.”
― Sheryl Sandberg
