Founder &CEO of INvolve, Suki Sandhu OBE, said: “These lists have been created with one aim – to create gender parity in workplaces across the globe. The role models we’re recognising aren’t just those who have achieved success themselves – they’re those who are committed to lifting others with them as they climb, and ultimately fuelling the female talent pipeline.
Sara Luder, partner at Slaughter and May said, “Gender diversity is something we value greatly at Slaughter and May. The legal sector has made some significant strides in recent years but there is still much more to be done, and we look forward to continuing to play our part.”
