50/50 Women on Boards reposted this
50/50 Women on Boards launched its inaugural #AfricanChapter in #Nairobi at the TDB Tower during a breakfast meeting. In his keynote address, TDB Group President and Managing Director Admassu Tadesse shared” At TDB Group, we have seen how diversity supports innovation, strengthens governance, and ultimately improves performance. Boards that lack diversity are prone to groupthink, limiting their strategic perspectives and ability to tackle complex challenges. We are proud to be supporting the launch of 50/50 Women on Boards’ Nairobi Chapter and believe that it will create pathways for African women to assume leadership roles, driving meaningful change in corporate governance. Philana Mugyenyi, Founder and Co-chair of 50/50 Women on Boards Nairobi Chapter expressed her optimism for the chapter’s potential, “While we’ve made progress, many talented women, especially young professionals, are still underrepresented on boards due to limited social capital and biases related to age. Through our programs, partnerships, and network, 50/50 Women on Boards will empower these women to take on leadership roles and create more inclusive boardrooms across Africa.” #inclusivity #women #corporategovernance #Africa https://lnkd.in/dPMHgbv2
