I was thrilled, impressed and truly inspired by the amazing content, brilliant presentations and superlative expert panel discussions at our Global Women in Technology Summit yesterday. The summit’s theme was “The Future-Forward Female Tech Leader: Inspiring Performance Through Purposeful Leadership” and it delivered a powerful message of how trust, collaboration, innovation, resiliency and empathy can foster success in turbulent times.
The summit was part of our continuing HMG Live! series of world-class executive leadership events and conferences, and it featured an exceptionally wide range of highly accomplished speakers, presenters and panelists.
