Women in leadership (WIL) held
its Biannual meeting at Westminster in partnership with Pink Shoe Club and
Washington’s Global WIN. Over two packed days in London, we joined with
international delegates from across the EU and USA.
On Thursday afternoon the conference
began with a great session on the ‘Women’s Talent Pool’ in House of Lords
Committee Room 1. After a warm welcome from Baroness Howells of St David’s, we
heard from WTP creator Elena Bonfiglioli, Senior Director Health EMEA,
Microsoft.
The inspiring speakers included Julie Brill, US Federal Trade
Commissioner and prominent Author Avivah Wittenberg Cox. Then the first WTP cohort,
having completed their year on the programme, reported on their experiences and
welcomed the second intake for the 2014 Talent Pool.
Thanks to Global WIN, an evening reception was then
held at Skype’s London HQ. Delegates were joined by business leaders including many Pink Shoe members.
With a keynote speech from Joanna Shields, CEO of Tech City.
