July 29, 2026
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.

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,...

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.

From Classroom to Paycheck: How Gender Pay Gap is Shaped
January 28, 2026
When Europe debates the gender pay gap, attention usually lands on corporate pay transparency, parental leave, or flexible work. But to deeply understand the width of the matter, we should go back to the roots of wage inequality — to classrooms, course choices, and regional opportunity maps that have, for decades, quietly steered men and women toward different careers. Recent Eurostat and OECD data show a striking continuity between what Europeans study, where they work, and how much they...
