About Us
iW50 is a celebration of the first fifty years of women at INSEAD; a year-long celebration of past, present and future women at INSEAD and a commitment to equipping women for success at every stage and in every organisation.
We have been committed to putting together an iW50 UK programme that not only celebrates women but that will help encourage & empower women. More importantly, our objective is to bring together both men & women to not only discuss gender diversity but to make a lasting impact. Diversity and inclusivity always have been integral to INSEAD’s DNA.
The Organisers
The organising committee are all INSEAD Alumni who have volunteered their time and expertise to deliver this landmark event. Some have recently graduated, others have already had their 30 year anniversary. We work in Banking, Finance, Technology, Retail, HR and Recruitment, Consultancy and Start-Ups.
