“Leading Ladies Of…,” will hold its second annual Leading Ladies Of… Aerospace Virtual Summit on September 23, 2021. The group focuses on women breaking the glass ceiling, and this virtual summit will feature discussions on driving gender parity in the aerospace sector.
The theme this year will be “Resurge and Fly: Fueling Our Recovery From Ground to Sky,” and will feature discussions from global leaders of Fortune 500 companies, suppliers and startups.
“Leading Ladies Of… Aerospace seeks to give women an opportunity to develop the skills and the network needed to build a successful career,” said Leading Ladies Of… founder Fiona McKay. “This event will help inspire women to accelerate the pace at which we are taking a seat at the table, securing leadership positions and ensuring our perspectives play a vital role in shaping the future of this recovering industry.”
The event will provide valuable role models, alongside tools and advice to advance careers and network. So far, over 500 women and male allies have signed up for the summit.
“This is not just another networking opportunity. These are real discussions about the challenges and opportunities we are facing in the industry and how we can develop strategies to be ready for those opportunities,” says Sharon Hamilton, SAP’s Head of Industry for Aerospace and Defense Services. “We have amazingly talented women in this industry, and this Summit harnesses the energy, talent, and enthusiasm of over 500 of our colleagues. I thought last year’s Summit was exceptional, and I think this year’s will be even better.” Hamilton is a speaker at and a speaker at the event this year.
The Summit also includes an all-woman Market Outlook panel, where Mariana Perez-Mora, Vice President of Equity Research at Bank of America, will moderate a conversation between Airbus and Boeing.
