Description
Despite growing commitments, women remain underrepresented in senior leadership and boardrooms across many markets in APAC. This session will explore how companies are accelerating progress toward gender-balanced leadership, including setting targets, strengthening leadership pipelines, and embedding inclusive policies and governance structures. Through practical insights and peer exchange, participants will examine barriers to advancement and identify actionable strategies to increase representation, accountability, and impact at the highest levels of decision-making.
