When asked where they see the biggest opportunities for driving positive change for women in eCommerce right now, our speakers answered: -Advocating for flexible work policies, equal opportunity, and representation in the workforce. -Encouraging women to shout about their achievements -Modifications in how we recruit: addressing biases in a constructive way They also touched on a management strategy of encouraging an innovation and growth mindset. To fail is to grow and learn; trying something new can only lead to positive outcomes in the long run.

Such a brilliant initiative by BUY WOMEN BUILT and Ocado Retail to have a dedicated aisle for female founded brands and great to see our client Ellie Webb 💃🏽✨ and Caleño Drinks included. Wouldn’t it be amazing to extend this out to the service industry and indeed all female founded businesses no matter how big or small. Why do we need this? Only 18% of businesses founded in the last year have a female on the founding team and still in 2024 less than 2% of total investment goes to female entrepreneurs. Buying and supporting ‘women built’ is so important but often we don’t know which brands and businesses fall into this category. What do you think of this initiative? Will you be more likely to buy from the female founded aisle? #femalefounders

A really nice panel to be part of today. An hour flashed by with the interesting insights from everybody. Available for replay in link below! #digitaltransformation #womeninleadership #womenintech #ecommerce

What an incredibly inspiring hour learning from leading women in ecommerce and digital transformation! My stand out pieces of advice from the panel hosted by Chloë Thomas were: 1. Share your achievements and failures: report up into the board so that when you're on the board, you're already experienced with reporting on the value you're delivering - Rachel Tonner, Klevu 2. It isn't easy, so it won't feel easy. You're unpicking years of BAU and coming in to deliver transformation so keep it simple and focus on delivering - Nic McDonald, Greene King 3. Treat your career as you would a project, focus on short-term and long-term goals, have regular check-ins with yourself to monitor the trajectory - Rachel Smith, SQLI 4. Take the time to learn the next new thing, championing technologies that are still emerging. Stay one step ahead and be the voice of challenge in the organisation. - Lynsey Reid, The HEINEKEN Company 5. There's a technology gap and a confidence gap. Technology transformation is expensive; start small, show the value it delivers and then ask for more. - Sezin Cagil, Selfridges And another from Sezin Cagil - stay curious, keep learning - you don't have to tell me twice! Plenty to reflect on and research from today's session, thank you!
