What does it take to break the bias in an industry like transportation? Women leaders share key traits that power them to success, according to Monika Ribar, Chair of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
Compare Monika’s experiences in Switzerland to those of her global peers in transportation, as well as women leaders at private and publicly held corporations. Learn how to position yourself to join a corporate board and how this role presents its own challenges.
Monika will also share her fallback formula and trace her career journey and lessons learned in this fireside chat with Amanda Pullinger, CEO of 100 Women in Finance.
