## Story

**According to FastCasual.com****, Rosalie Guillem, CEO of** **Le Macaron French Pastries****, is one of the restaurant industry’s leading women in an executive role. FastCasual interviewed Guillem about her role as CEO with the pastry franchise, her experience in the industry and what it means to be a woman business-owner in today’s world.**

**Part of FastCasual.com’s International Women’s Month coverage, the article features Guillem and 11 other executive women in the fast casual restaurant industry, highlighting their successes in a variety of fields.**

**When asked about the increase in female business owners since she opened the doors to her first** **Le Macaron French Pastries** **in 2010, Guillem told FastCasual.com, “I think that is due to the fact that women are more willing to take the risk to become the owner of their own business now. They have more confidence today than they might have had one or two decades ago to take that risk of becoming their own business owner.”**

**Guillem also offered advice for women looking to move up in their own careers. “When you work hard and make a difference, you have to be proud of it. Don't be shy. Be confident, believe in yourself and ask for what you deserve. Don't hesitate to ask and promote yourself.”**
