Last week, we brought the Power of She to life at the 2024 Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, where female leaders across industries gathered for inspiration, conversation and connection.     Our Chief Marketing Officer Ilona Aman kicked off the first day of the event by joining a panel discussion on the role sports play in fostering women leaders. The conversation underscored how continued investment in women’s sports is empowering the next generation through critical leadership skills like resilience, teamwork, and confidence.     We also hosted an exclusive Move with Athleta Yoga Flow, led by LA-based instructor Danielle Acoff where 100 attendees connected through an energizing practice overlooking the ocean. Participants left with an exclusive Athleta set and yoga mat as a reminder of their experience.     Special thanks to all the incredible women who joined us for this one-of-a-kind activation!       #PowerofShe #FortuneMPW
