Women are still lagging behind when it comes to leadership roles in business. The causes for the underrepresentation of women in decision-making processes and positions are multiple and complex. The main reasons are traditional gender roles and stereotypes, the lack of support for women and men to balance care responsibilities with work, and the prevalent political and corporate cultures.

Please join us in person or online on Tuesday 18th October 2022, at 15 CEST (9 am EST) to discuss these and many other issues.
