“At the recent Global Summit of Women, once again masterfully organized by Irene Natividad, we explored the profound impact of generational shifts on leadership and the future of work. In a world characterized by nonlinear change, accelerated pace, and interconnected systems—what at EY we call the NAVI world—leaders must embrace new approaches to transformation.”

– Julie Linn Teigland, Global Vice Chair – Alliances & Ecosystems, EY (UK)

“To be honest, the positive and uplifting atmosphere of being around such a diverse, international group of women from all industry sectors and political leaders was the most inspiring and valuable for me. The intersection of industry, politics, and technology is very important.

It was my first Global Summit and I was amazed to just be part of this truly global group of female leaders from around the world. Thank you and I look forward to Istanbul!”

“Each and every topic was spot on. Super engaging and relevant. It was tough having to pick a breakout room. It was very valuable. There was not one that was not relevant. Spot on.”

-Vita Barrio, Financial Advisor, Raymond James Financial (USA)

“Made a lot of good contacts, the space will run out before I can write all the names of the wonderful women. I specifically liked the CEO panels with both men & women and was surprised to learn about the lack of corelation b/w women sitting on executives boards and women CEOs. Also, implementing quotas is something that I will look into in my organization. One other thing I took away with me is the power of role modelling and how I an contribute to make it more prominent.”

– Iva Ponomar, Production Leader, Dow Chemical (Germany)
