Solaris CEO Solange Olszewska is one of the 100 most influential businesswomen in the world, according to an analysis of successful women in business by German financial daily newspaper Handelsblatt. The paper does not suggest a ranking order within the Top 100.
Handelsblatt honours Olszewska’s success with the Solaris brand, represented by the green dog, in winning tenders for the supply of buses to major European cities against strong competition from long-established competitors. With this, Solaris is judged to have its eyes firmly on the world market.
