In an industry built on risk assessment and market foresight, an ongoing challenge persists: the notable lack of women in prominent senior leadership roles in finance.
Elevate is an award-nominated leadership programme to advance women in finance.
Elevate transcends the notion of a simple leadership programme
A transformative journey designed for successful women in finance
Extending from management level and beyond Elevate empowers women with the essential insights, mindset, skills, and self-assurance for truly excelling within leadership roles.
It is further strengthened by the connections built within each cohort, as well as access to the wider Elevate network of women across the finance sector and the events held throughout the year.
It provides an environment where challenges can be openly shared, key stakeholders and champions identified, crucial skills are developed, a clear vision of future direction is achieved, and steps are mapped out to culminate in success.
