Do you know what it takes to get into the boardroom? Are we getting any closer to parity? We discuss the importance of having more women on boards, if this is enough and how to navigate this path with our guest Jeanne Hecht. She gives some great tactical pointers on how to prepare for a seat in the boardroom.
Our partner, Women in Bio has a series of initiatives geared towards executive women looking to expand their networks and fine-tune their skills.
