In honor of International Women’s Day 2025, we are thrilled to celebrate and acknowledge the incredible contributions of 30 Pacific women leaders.
This is our way of saying “thank you” and shining a light on their strength, resilience, and leadership.
“Lesley Ieremia, a former PWPBN board member embodies the multifaceted roles of a wife, mother, sister, and a successful hospitality professional.
With 25 years in the industry, including 20 at IHG, she has risen through the ranks despite an initial career diversion from nursing. Lesley’s hospitality roots trace back to family gatherings in Fiji infusing her work with warmth and authenticity.
Known for empowering her teams, she finds her greatest joy in family and faces challenges in mental health and wellbeing head-on.
Lesley lives by the words of Brene Brown: “I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage, or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.”
Stay tuned as we celebrate these inspiring women who continue to shape and lead our communities.
