Programme

  • 4pm - Drinks reception and networking

  • 4.40pm - The inaugural Katharine Perera Women in Leadership Annual Lecture - The leadership challenges of 2020 and why gender matters by Lorna Fitzsimons, Co-founder and CEO, The Pipeline

This will be an interactive session where Lorna will probe and challenge the audience on why there are so few women at the top, why it matters and what we can do about it. Lorna will empower the audience to better understand what is happening and how they can personally effect change or help others too. With her direct approach of myth busting and truth telling you will hopefully feel energised and inspired.

The organisation runs a series of pioneering programmes for women and companies across the FTSE 350. The Pipeline works with boards, CEOs and their executive colleagues, as well as individual women to help them prepare for leadership roles.

Lorna is a former Member of Parliament and President of the National Union of Students.
