“As business leaders face more challenges, disruptions, and transformation in this new world, they will need more diverse ideas, innovation and creativity to improve performance in their companies. Women offer a different lens and perspective that can accelerate the unleashing of these new ideas, innovation and creativity. The world is changing fast and leaders and institutions need to create very inclusive cultures to release this talent and energy. If there were equity in leadership positions at the top of our organizations, our businesses would be stronger, more nimble and more sustainable. It’s our time.”
