8th CEO Roundtable with 41 CEOs and regional presidents representing 34 organisations

Published on June 7, 2022

LEAD Network’s eighth CEO Roundtable was held virtually on 10 May 2022, taking as its theme Breaking through Bias. The aim of the session was to consider the actions that CEOs and senior leaders can take to interrupt, disrupt and eliminate the workplace bias that affects the career progression and advancement of women.

Forty-one CEOs and regional presidents took part, representing 34 organisations. There was an even split between men and women. The CEO Roundtable was chaired by Sean Cohan, Chief Growth Officer and President, International at Nielsen Global Media.

“Change begins within. The recent LEAD Network CEO Roundtable started with a self-assessment of how each of us has driven gender equity. With those insights, we had even more meaningful conversations during the event to drive equity for women in our companies and industry," said Sean Cohan, Chief Growth Officer & President International, Nielsen. "Thank you to my fellow leaders for an inspiring discussion and sharing your best practices."

Sarah McGowan, Partner at August Leadership and member of LEAD Network’s Advisory Board, developed the session content and moderated the event along with Sean.

The CEO Roundtable is run largely by volunteers, with support from LEAD Network staff. If you have any feedback on the latest CEO Roundtable or ideas for future CEO activities and events, please contact Judith Kuiper on [email protected]
