"Inspiring Women Series” Professional Women’s Network event

Join our second session of the "Inspiring Women Series", a unique lunch event hosted by EY's Professional Women's Network. This series brings together professionals eager to connect, share experiences, and inspire one another through the stories and insights of remarkable women leaders.

These sessions are more than just talks—they are an opportunity to learn from each other, exchange ideas, and grow together. Each event is designed to foster meaningful connections and offer actionable advice to help you tackle your own professional and personal aspirations.

Building on the success of February’s launch event with Alia Hawa, Group Occitane, Managing Director Europe & Middle East, our March session will feature another inspiring leader who embodies resilience, adaptability, and the power of collaboration.

We are delighted to host Giulia Rizzo, a seasoned leader with a wealth of experience in navigating new environments and advocating for herself in professional settings. Giulia will share her inspiring journey of moving to a new country, rebuilding her professional network from the ground up, and transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and success. Her story highlights the importance of building relationships, embracing change, and negotiating for oneself to seize opportunities and achieve goals. Giulia’s talk will offer practical advice, inspiring insights, and empowerment to navigate challenges and shape your own path.
