INSEADCELEBRATES WOMENCelebrating and empowering women leaders — for 50 years and beyond.The underrepresentation of women in leadership positionshas garnered increasing attention in recent years, yet thepace of women’s advancement as global leaders remainsslow. This is a complex problem reinforced by many socialand cultural factors, but we believe that education can playa critical role in developing gender diversity in leadership.INSEAD is committed to being a key player in this space.In 1967, INSEAD became one of the first business schoolsin the world to admit women to its MBA programme whenit welcomed Hélène Ploix, MBA’68, and Solange Perret,MBA’68, to the Fontainebleau campus.By doing so, INSEAD made a strong statement about genderparity in education, at a time when business schools werelargely exclusive to men. Both women went on to becomehighly successful leaders in finance and internationalbusiness, respectively, paving the way for future generationsof women at INSEAD.To commemorate this 50-year milestone, the school islaunching a year-long celebration which will honour thepast, present and future of women at INSEAD, while alsoreaffirming a commitment — to equip women for successat every stage of their career and in every organisation.Notable EMFin AlumnaeMarnie SmithVidya ParthasarathyYuri YoshiokaSenior Client PartnerKorn FerryClass of 2014Vice President, Corporate BankingDBS BanksClass of 2015Vice President, Risk ManagementGECASClass of 2017EMFin programme20140720152017
