Women in Transformation

Dedicated to diversity & inclusion in business change & transformation.


Our Women in Transformation series began in 2019 with the aim of sparking thought-provoking conversations between female professionals about the issues faced by women in high-profile positions.

Our first session brought together inspirational women from the transformation space and was a roaring success. This led to several riveting face-to-face events where women, along with male allies, could discuss the challenges they’ve faced, offer support and motivation to each other and for us to better understand how we can help. Our mission is to get under the surface of some of the major hurdles our industry faces when it comes to diversity and inclusion, and help to propel us all forward in the pursuit of true equality.

Meet our panellists


For our most recent event, as a Women In Transformation first, we welcomed a whole panel of industry leaders on board to lead the discussion on diversity & inclusion. With an incredible array of experience from their careers to draw on, they covered hard-hitting subjects like the impact of Covid-19 on women in the workplace, the lasting effects of the BLM protests on drawing awareness to race issues at work, as well as exploring the intricacies of social mobility.
