A pair of keynote speakers will address the “power of parity” and how to fast-track gender equality through investment strategies, as the Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) brings light to gender parity challenges and successes at PACK EXPO East (March 3-5, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia.)
As women remain underrepresented in manufacturing jobs, Kweilin Ellingrud, a senior partner at McKinsey & Company, and Kelly Coyne, the vice president of Global Women’s Strategies, Impax Asset Management LLC and Pax Ellevate Management LLC, will focus the March 4 PPWLN breakfast event on Financial Empowerment and Fixing the Broken Rung. With a deep dive into the McKinsey Global Institute’s “Women in the Workplace 2019” report, Ellingrud and Coyne will explore inclusiveness and workplace diversity, which, when embraced, results in financial empowerment for individuals and the organization as a whole.
