From gap to strategy: Fair pay in the age of live enforcement
November 2, 2026
At PWN Global, we believe building more balanced workplaces starts with cultures where fairness, transparency, and opportunity are embedded in how organisations lead and operate. We are delighted to share this timely insight from our long-standing Corporate Partner, Marsh (formerly Mercer), exploring how the EU Pay Transparency Directive, alongside the growing influence of AI, is reshaping the conversation around pay equity and organisational responsibility. Our thanks to Marsh for sharing...

You Are Still the Conductor
November 2, 2026
AI has read the report, found the anomalies and produced the questions. In minutes. So, board members, are we finally free to skip the homework? Not quite. When Trevor Brown, former Chair of the Deloitte Africa Board and a board member of JSE-listed Bidcorp, put AI to the test, the results were impressive. But his experiment exposed a more interesting question than whether a machine could analyse an annual report: could it tell the board what really mattered? Comparing AI’s questions with...

Make Me Proud
October 3, 2026
As Associate Director for Career and Talent Development at Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics, I have a privileged view of both sides of the talent journey: candidates and employees on one side, and employers on the other. I have seen firsthand how a less well-known company can make a lasting impression from the very early stages of the relationship: through university activities, recruitment processes, onboarding, internships, and early-career programmes. Because the relationship...

The Doors We Can’t Open Alone
October 3, 2026
Partnerships create doors that none of us could open alone. There is a reason “who you know” has survived as a piece of career advice for generations. Knowledge gives you credibility. Relationships give you access. But both have limits when they remain within the boundaries of one person, one organisation or one industry. The interesting value of a partnership starts when those boundaries disappear. A technology company knows things a leadership network does not. A professional network can...

Talent Is the Investment. The Network Is the Multiplier.
September 2, 2026
Every organisation says its people are its greatest asset. Then a talented woman leaves, an experienced leader retires, or a promising person quietly stops seeing a future there, and it gets filed away as a talent problem. It is also an investment problem: years of accumulated value, walking out the door. Read PWN Global, Co-VP Corporate Partnerships, Sharon Schön's thought-provoking piece.

What motivates experienced board members to become mentors? We asked some of the current mentors from our Women on Boards Mentoring Programme to reflect on why they joined the programme, what they've enjoyed most, and what they would say to others who are considering becoming a mentor. Their answers remind us that mentoring is truly a two-way experience

PWN GLOBAL SUMMIT 2026, LISBON Leading with Collaborative Intelligence
July 3, 2026
Across two days, through conversations about Power, Progress and People, one idea kept returning: the future will be led by people who know how to bring others in, listen deeply, work across differences, and build trust. That is what Collaborative Intelligence means. As the Co-Presidents closed the Summit, something had shifted. Not only in how people were thinking, but in how they were connecting. Collaborative Intelligence is not just a theme. It is becoming a capability, a way of leading,...

We Are Not Gathering to Predict the Future. We Are Gathering to Shape It.
June 13, 2026
As we approach the PWN Global Summit 2026, one theme continues to emerge: the future will be shaped by leaders who collaborate across boundaries. Across industries, leaders are facing unprecedented levels of complexity. Technology, demographics, economic shifts, and societal expectations are changing simultaneously. The question is not whether change is coming; it is whether we are prepared to lead through it.

PWN Global Summit 2026: This is your moment. Do not miss it.
May 14, 2026
There is a moment in every career when you look back and pinpoint the conversation that changed everything. A room you nearly did not walk into. A speaker who said the thing you had been thinking but could not yet name. A person you were seated next to who becomes a collaborator, a sponsor, a peer you think alongside for the next decade. Those moments do not happen on a webinar. They do not happen in a one-hour panel you watch from your desk with your notifications on. They happen in rooms....

From Blueprint to Argument: What It Takes to Curate a Summit That Matters
May 1, 2026
Collaborative Intelligence: Power. Progress. People. In October last year, I was asked to help shape the PWN Global Summit Agenda. Co-Presidents Mónica d’Orey Santiago and Yolanda Gutiérrez were explicit: this could not be another reflection on women in leadership. It had to become something more exacting. A platform that examines the systems where leadership decisions are made and how those systems are shaped, sustained, and sometimes silently distorted.

From a Rural Kid in Texas to One of the Most Unconventional Voices in Inclusive Leadership
March 16, 2026
Psychological safety is the foundation of effective leadership. Yet in many organisations there remains a persistent gap between what leaders say and what employees actually experience. Add AI-mediated work environments to the mix, and inclusion can quietly erode if leaders are not actively paying attention. These are exactly the kinds of challenges Dr. Anthony Giannoumis focuses on.
