Join Women in Breakbulk to Discuss Climbing the Corporate Ladder
Climbing the corporate ladder is a challenge for many women in the project cargo and breakbulk industry. Women may get stuck in middle management or be relegated to more traditional female roles. This year’s session brings together leaders from across the industry who have made it to positions of leadership, and they will share their insights into what has and hasn’t worked for them.
A 2021 survey conducted by Gartner Inc. showed that women comprised 41 percent of the supply chain workforce in 2021, up from 39 percent in 2020. According to the survey, every leadership level saw an increase in representation, except the executive level that witnessed a slight decline, from 17 percent in 2020 to 15 percent in 2021.
“Bridging the gender gap is an ongoing challenge,” said Leslie Meredith, Program Director for Women in Breakbulk and the company’s Marketing & Media Director. “Each year at Breakbulk Middle East, we highlight this issue by addressing the challenges. This year we unite women leaders to share their perspectives on the skills – both hard and soft – that are important for individual leadership growth and the success of companies overall.”
This year’s program offers career advice to inspire women at all stages of their careers. The session includes a light breakfast, networking, panel discussion and a question-and-answer segment for audience members to contribute their own experience to the group.
Breakbulk invites all women to join the Wormen in Breakbulk network to extend their connections around the world and throughout the year. For more information, visit https://middleeast.breakbulk.com/ page/women-in-breakbulk.
