Women’s Executive Leadership

EGN Singapore/women’s Executive Leadership

Cultivate a network that is built on mutual professional aspirations with other women in executive leadership.

This women’s only confidential peer group brings together female business executives, to discuss challenges and opportunities for personal and professional career growth.

The group shares their experience in areas ranging from strategy development to effective execution with a view to identifying “best practice” and creating “next practice”.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:

ESG – incorporating environmental, social and governance aspects into your business strategy
Mental wellbeing within the organization
Big Data – trends, technology, and opportunities
Neurodiversity
Change management
Purposeful career planning
Leadership changed over the past year – what concepts should we embrace?
Toxic personalities at the workplace
Personal branding
Male-driven teams versus women-driven teams
Female leaders – the male view
Aligning all teams in a large organisation to collaborate and execute a joint mission

From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.

Members of this group are women from large or mid-sized Singapore-based companies and include Large Enterprise Accouont Director of LinkedIn, Director & General Manager (Asia Pacific, Japan & Greater China) at Oracle, Head dof Change Delivery Mercer, Managing Director of NielsenIQ, Managing Director of Accenture, Head of ASEAN Partner Development Amazon Web Services and many more.
