Nov 9 IWIB Breakfast with Special Guest

Dear Alumni,

You are invited to an exclusive breakfast with a passionate campaigner for women’s leadership in business.

INSEAD and PWN Zug & Zurich’s Breakfast Fireside Chat with Simona Scarpaleggia, CEO IKEA Switzerland, Zurich
November 9, 2017

INSEAD alumni and the Professional Women’s Network (PWN) Zug & Zurich invite you to join us and be inspired by Simona’s mission to support and increase women’s representation at the top levels of management. In her words “… there is huge potential that could be unlocked simply by valuing and empowering women. The energy, the power and creativity of women is badly needed – not only to make this world a better place, but to enable it to survive in the years to come. It is only by engaging the abilities of both women and men working together in partnership that the right steps can be taken towards building a sustainable world. This means the voices of both men and women must be heard at all levels of decision making.” Don’t miss this opportunity to have an intimate breakfast conversation with Simona about the issues of the day. Be inspired! Please note this event is limited to 20 participants
