The representation of women in corporate leadership is coming under increasing scrutiny as stakeholders demand a greater degree of commitment to progress on gender equity.
“During a very challenging year for business, it has been amazing to see these HERoes Women Role Models step up to champion inclusion at their organisations and step forward to inspire the next generation of women business leaders. All of these global role models are taking action to dismantle the barriers to progression and create new opportunities for women to be successful in the workplace.”
