Our Global Chair, Jennifer Barker was pleased to join leaders representing some of Turkey’s most significant companies and business groups for a roundtable event in Istanbul hosted by 30% Club Turkey and Akbank, alongside Türkiye Kurumsal Yönetim Derneği and Turkish IR Society.
The panel “What Percentage Are You?” focused on women’s representation and inclusion at the board level. Discussions emphasized that women must be at the table not just for the numbers, but as influential agenda-shaping voices; a vital force in navigating today’s challenges and tomorrow’s uncertainties.
Jennifer spoke at the event about how organizations can build more intentional pathways to senior leadership roles, and how engaging mentoring and sponsorship programs can help strengthen the talent pipeline across industries and markets.
Also speaking on the panel were Independent Board Member & Advisor Arzu Aslan Kesimer and Şebnem Muratoğlu, EVP Treasury & FI and the panel was moderated by Ozan Duygulu Faculty Member at Sabancı University.
Congratulations to all involved for an insightful and important discussion.
