We need more women in leadership for representation when decisions at the highest level are made, and to serve as role models for others.
For many reasons, women tend to drop off midway through their careers, resulting in fewer women in the pipeline for senior level positions.
But if we take concrete decisions today, we can work together to achieve a more balanced representation across all levels.
A concrete reason why this is important: according to reports, companies with a higher percentage of female executives tend to be more profitable – Peterson Institute.
Thank you for the invitation, @womensworldbanking and @wimbiz. This initiative reiterated the urgency for action. @heirsgeneralinsurance and @heirslife are fully committed to this move.
It was great to share thoughts with other brilliant female executives in the hall. Also great to share findings from the work @thegapx does as well.
Watch this space.
