Leaders Making a Difference
International Women’s Day (IWD)
As a part of our Leaders Making a Difference (LMD) interview series, every March and into April, dss+ draws special focus on women leaders from around the globe. Through engaging conversations, they share their insights and stories - and collectively reflect on the vast array of challenges faced by the business community. We’re proud to provide this platform, highlighting the incredible impact they all have, across a broad range of roles, sectors, and countries.
