The post-pandemic debate about RTO persists as companies weigh the benefits of in-person collaboration against employee demand for flexibility. The “go or no go” question weighs particularly heavy on working women – a population most impacted by events of the past four years … many of whom leveraged remote and hybrid schedules to achieve something akin to work/life balance. On the other hand, many women fear the out-of-sight, out-of-mind dilemma when they are away from the office. Is there a right and wrong in this debate? Join this discussion as stakeholders explore the strategies and pitfalls of RTO versus working from home versus somewhere in between the two. You’ll get tips on how to determine what’s best for you … and how to negotiate for it.

Their bravery amplifies the mission of She Runs It and provides fuel for all who face personal and professional challenges. Fearless Voices are individuals who use the power of their words and actions to give voice and courage to others.

The World Economic Forum estimates that it will take 169 years to close the global gender gap in economic participation and opportunity, but several influential leaders are determined to shorten that distance …. significantly. When resolute women put their minds and hands together to propel other women forward, it significantly shortens the distance between where we are now and a world in which gender equality is the norm. In this conversation hosted by Integral Ad Science in partnership with She Runs It, a panel of courageous leaders will discuss the actions necessary to pursue change and achieve equity for women in marketing, media, and tech. Learn how equal doses of inspiration and perspiration can lead to positive change.

She is distinctively tough … of formidable strength or skill. Fierce, but fair. Delegates work with ease, gives credit where it’s due, but also owns the outcome.

On Wednesday, June 19, She Runs It and Adweek will host a luncheon in partnership with TransUnion, XR, Samsung Ads, Scripps, PeterMayer, and Mediaocean to feature and celebrate the Best of the Badass Bosses. Some of the industry’s most revered leaders will share their stories, reveal their soft spots, and share their strategies during a dynamic conversation that will be followed by a mentoring session over lunch. You can join a table of allies to learn more, compare notes, and hone the subtle art of being a badass.

She Runs It at Cannes: She Runs It. He Gets It.
2024-06-19 16:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Paris) | La Maison Teads- Yacht H
She Runs It Presents She Runs It. He Gets It.
Women are good for business…that fact is indisputable. Multiple studies have shown that companies where women are most strongly represented at executive levels are also the companies that perform best in profitability, productivity and workforce engagement. Often the greatest accelerants for women into leadership roles are sponsors who already reside in the C-suite – currently 70% white men – who recognize the value of gender parity at the top. This often results in the formation of Dynamic Duos: women leaders with collaborative male counterparts. In this session, four female and male partners-in-success will discuss the superpowers of these teams.

Moderated by:
Lynn Branigan, President & CEO, She Runs It

Featuring:

Natalie Bastian, Global CMO, Teads & Mike Dupree, CRO, Teads
Laura Galietta, Executive Vice President, Integrated Ad Sales Marketing, Warner Bros. Discovery & Jon Steinlauf, Chief U.S. Advertising Sales Officer, Warner Bros. Discovery
Cara Lewis, Chief Investment Officer, dentsu international and Mike Law, CEO, Carat North America
