Participants
Attendees are from FTSE 100 organisations or equivalent and are one or two roles below Executive Committee, as well as senior civil servants. Typically, private sector attendees work in profit and loss roles (eg managing directors of business units, heads of product lines) and functional roles (eg legal, marketing, finance, risk, HR, digital, and IT). Often they have attended Top Flight (our executive programme to help women achieve CEO and CSuite roles), although this is not a prerequisite, and have identified this as an area to focus on.
