Attention women (and allies) of The World Bank! Thanks to the generous support of Felice Gorordo, the Office of the U.S. Executive Director is proud to present the first in what we envision to be a powerful Coffee Chat Series on Executive Women in Leadership. Thanks to my partner in crime Emana Shunnom who had the vision that we need to inspire the women of the Bank to shoot for the highest levels in the international financial community. Sharing here in case you missed the first announcement over email, another, with an invite to join in person or virtually will come out this week- please join us as we have an all-star line up of incredible women: Reta Jo Lewis, Esq., President and Chair, Export-Import Bank of the United States Anabel González, Vice President for Countries, Inter-American Development Bank Mamta Murthi, Vice President for Human Development, The World Bank Chidi Blyden, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Millennium Challenge Corporation British Robinson, Coordinator, Prosper Africa Championing gender advancement and enhancing the empowerment of women in the global workplace are key commitments shared by the World Bank and its partners. The event, "Empowering Women in Leadership: An Executive Journey," highlights the significant advancements women have made in international finance and development, taking on leadership roles that bring innovative solutions and perspectives to global challenges. Despite these advancements, gaps remain, particularly in senior leadership roles where many emerging female professionals lack access to role models and mentorship. To address this, the event brings together a panel of distinguished women executives to share their insights and experiences with the next generation, aiming to bridge these gaps and empower young women at the World Bank to pursue their leadership aspirations with confidence, promoting intergenerational learning and paving the way for a more equitable leadership landscape. This will help build a more robust pipeline of female leaders who are prepared to take on critical roles within the international finance and development space.

Despite years (and years) of talking about diversity, equality and inclusion, there are still only 21 women CEOs in the FTSE 350, and 10 in the FTSE 100.* Only four FTSE 100 companies have a women in CEO and CFO roles.** 12 FTSE 100 companies have an ethnic minority CEO.*** There are huge cultural, societal, attitudinal and structural reasons for this, none of which will be fixed any time soon - although we absolutely should be fixing it. In the meantime, we shouldn’t expect under-represented groups to wait quietly in the shadows. I focus on helping people navigate the system as it is now, not as we’d like it to be. There are things you can learn about how these systemic issues have influenced you as an individual, and how your own ingrained conditioning may be holding you back. You can change this. You can learn to use your assets - including your unique individual characteristics and strengths - to build your professional reputation and identity so you can navigate the obstacles the system throws in your way. It’s not about being something you’re not. It’s about learning how to use who you are to best effect, to deliver results, have influence, get noticed, get promoted, and make a positive difference - to your own life, to your organisation, and to the society we all live in. If I can help, let me know. Drop me a message to fix a no-obligation conversation. #WomenLeadership #diversity #inclusion * FTSE Women Leaders Review 2024 sponsored by KPMG and Lloyds Bank February 2024 ** Research by AJ Bell Investment Platform March 2024 *** Parker Review March 2024

Today, on #internationalwomensday with the theme #InspireInclusion, we celebrate the progress Swiss banks are making towards gender diversity in leadership.   We analyzed the top 3 Swiss banks (UBS, Crédit Suisse, and Julius Baer) to see which one has the highest % of women in Executive leadership positions.   🔝 By number of women in Executive Positions: 1. UBS 2. Julius Baer 3. Credit Suisse   📈 By Assets Under Management: 1. UBS 2. Credit Suisse 3. Julius Baer   ⚠ While these figures don't reflect full parity yet, they represent a positive trend toward a more diverse leadership landscape at these Swiss banks, which has been historically male-dominated. This trajectory is likely boosted by their respective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.   Ranking based on 2024 data from annual reports and websites of the three major Swiss banks: UBS, Credit Suisse, and Julius Baer.   💡What are your thoughts on the progress of these institutions? How can the financial sector further champion female leadership globally?

What is the business case for diversity in leadership? Businesses with diverse executive teams and boards perform better financially, and those that lack diversity are 66% less likely to outperform financially on average. What’s more, diversity in leadership leads to better environmental and social outcomes and a more satisfied workforce. Join us in the #EqualityLounge at #WEF24 for a discussion where we will unpack key findings on gender and ethnic diversity. • Amber Coleman-Mortley, Sr. Director, Community and Culture, The Female Quotient • Maria del Mar Martinez, Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, McKinsey & Company • Thelma Ferguson, Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Vice Chair, Commercial Banking, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Last month we not only celebrated International Women's Day (March 8th) but I was also was honoured and excited to take part in several initiatives and events to further the campaign for women in Data and Technology.    bInspired Launch To kick off the month, we launched the bInspired Mentoring programme for the third year running in collaboration with Bloss-m. This program is designed to empower young women to dream big, explore new possibilities, and achieve their goals. During the 6 month mentoring programme young women aged between 17-21 are partnered with female role models working at Lloyds Banking Group in the fields of Tech and Data developing their confidence and expanding their knowledge of the field. It's been great to hear about the 75 successful mentoring partnerships from the previous two years and I can't wait to hear and see the this continue with our largest cohort yet of 75 mentor-mentee pairs. During the launch event mentors and mentees got to meet for the first time. We heard about LBG's mission to Help Britain Prosper as well as some of the great work happening in the bank supporting colleagues and customers with products such as virtual chat and digital document processing. Women In Data 2024 Flagship Event Continuing to celebrate Women in Data I attended the Women In Data Flagship event for the second year. This year, 3000 women in data gathered to celebrate our achievements, network and listen to some inspiring speakers. Here are some of my key takeaways: - Shola Kade shared the art of the ask – getting further and getting what you want by asking for it. The seven components of the ask – what, why, who, when, words, was I heard, what next. What’s the one thing you’d ask for? - Maggie Alphonsi the face of International Women’s Rugby shared her personal journey into becoming a leader. She believes there are no such things as weaknesses, only undone strengths. She also shared how understanding your why and being a visible leader has been instrumental in her own leadership journey. - Lloyds not just a bank - This was also the first year that LBG had a spotlight on the main stage where we had four inspirational colleagues sharing the exciting work and culture we foster at LBG. This segment was concluded with a video sharing other’s LBG Women In Data hashtags. #UnlockingGoodData #BeCurious #Explore #EmpoweringDataJourneys Breakthrough x Women In Data – GenAI event   To wrap up, our internal LBG networks - Women in Data and Breakthrough collaborated on an event for colleagues introducing Gen AI, how we are using it and how we can create careers and an inclusive workplace supported by mentorship and AI. I enjoyed learning about the concepts of Gen AI and the biases that we need to overcome e.g. in image generation and voice recognition.
