What is meant by a portfolio career? Is this the latest work trend or here to stay? Could a portfolio career help women get onto boards? Get insights from talented leaders at our interactive leadership panel as we discuss how to think about a NED career, how to get noticed as a candidate and whether a portfolio career can help leverage board positions.
We will explore strategies for moving from executive to non-executive roles in industries ranging from technology, professional services, banking and asset management
