Why do so many talented women disappear from leadership just as they reach their peak?

Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the “Hourglass Effect”,  a powerful concept highlighting the double squeeze of caregiving bias and ageism that impacts women’s career progression, particularly in Switzerland.

Led by global strategy and innovation leader Naheed Chowdhry, alongside distinguished speakers  Erika Darmstaedter, Patricia Widmer and Vanessa Kammermann from business and leadership, this session will uncover the hidden costs of losing experienced women leaders, for companies, economies, and society.

Through data-driven insights, real-world experiences, and open dialogue, we will address key challenges such as gender gaps in senior roles, systemic bias, and the rising unemployment of experienced women.

A must-attend event for leaders, decision-makers, and anyone committed to building more inclusive and sustainable organizations.
