WDC: Up Close and Personal with Christine Fellowes

Women Directors Chapter
Taking centre-stage in the next instalment of the Up Close and Personal series by SID’s Women Directors Chapter is Christine Fellowes, Independent Non-Executive Director of National Australia Bank and GuocoLand. She will share about the challenges on her path to the boardroom. While the case for diversity on boards has received attention in recent years, the reality on the ground may be uneven, as gender, age and even cultural differences come into play. Aspiring and current board members stand to take away useful insights on navigating the boardroom journey. Prepare to be inspired and engage in meaningful discussions with other women directors and senior executives.
