In commemoration of International Women’s Day, I had the honor of moderating a powerful conversation at the CIArb IWD Event—"Wearing Multiple Hats: Between Professional (Arbitrator - Counsel) / Personal Life." Joined by a stellar panel of Elena Gutiérrez, Edna Sussman, Kamumbu Mwondela, and Jose Antonio Rivas, we explored the complexities of career transitions, the shift from counsel or expert to neutral, and the importance of mentorship. Key takeaways? ✅ Navigating multiple roles requires balance and adaptability. ✅ The transition to a neutral role is both a strategic and personal journey. ✅ Mentorship remains essential—learning from those who have walked the path before us makes all the difference. A heartfelt thank you to our panelists and attendees for sharing their insights and experiences. And a special thank you to Cristen Bauer and Catriona Gallagher for their incredible work in putting this event together! Let’s continue fostering inclusion, mentorship, and opportunities for growth in the arbitration community. #IWD #WomenInArbitration #Mentorship #CareerGrowth #CIArb #Arbitration #InternationalWomensDay
