Mariëlle Bartholomeus has been elected Top Woman of the Year 2020. She is medical director and neurologist at the Bernhoven hospital in Uden. The jury praised Bartholomeus for her authenticity and leadership, “with which she gives people confidence and empowers them”.
According to the jury, Bartholomeus played an important role in the corona crisis. Many corona patients were admitted to the Brabant hospital. The jury is impressed by how they dealt with that crisis. “The many compelling examples in which she does not put herself in the foreground, but shows clear leadership in this crisis, were the deciding factor.”
The two other nominees were director Conny Helder of tanteLouise, a chain of care centers and nursing homes, and Ellis Jeurissen, director of public health and ambulance care at GGD Brabant-Zuidoost.
The election of Top Woman of the Year was held this year for the sixteenth time. The foundation of the same name wants to make female talent more visible.
