Women’s Executive Leadership

EGN Singapore/women’s Executive Leadership

Cultivate a network that is built on mutual professional aspirations with other women in executive leadership.

This women’s only confidential peer group brings together female business executives, to discuss challenges and opportunities for personal and professional career growth.

The group shares their experience in areas ranging from strategy development to effective execution with a view to identifying “best practice” and creating “next practice”.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:

  • ESG – incorporating environmental, social and governance aspects into your business strategy

  • Mental wellbeing within the organization

  • Big Data – trends, technology, and opportunities

  • Neurodiversity

  • Change management

  • Purposeful career planning

  • Leadership changed over the past year – what concepts should we embrace?

  • Toxic personalities at the workplace

  • Personal branding

  • Male-driven teams versus women-driven teams

  • Female leaders – the male view  

  • Aligning all teams in a large organisation to collaborate and execute a joint mission

From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.

Members of this group are women from large or mid-sized Singapore-based companies and include Large Enterprise Accouont Director of LinkedIn, Director & General Manager (Asia Pacific, Japan & Greater China) at Oracle, Head dof Change Delivery Mercer, Managing Director of NielsenIQ, Managing Director of Accenture, Head of ASEAN Partner Development Amazon Web Services and many more.

    Your personal EGN group represents a confidential forum where all ideas and challenges can be discussed with peers at your own, professional level. To ensure confidentiality, no competitors or significant customer relationships are allowed in the same group.

    All our peer groups are managed by a professional and experienced EGN Chair, who facilitates and mentors the peer groups, ensures output both at and between meetings and focuses on your professional and managerial development.

    We also offer events and seminars, networking tours, an Between Jobs Scheme, mentoring programmes, CEO coaching and much more.

  • You can apply for membership by filling out this form

    When we have received your application, you will be contacted by a Network Advisor for a more in-depth interview to find the right peer group for your managerial level and/or professional need.

    All candidates must be approved by both the Chair and specific peer group members before joining a group. This is done both to match relevant peers and also to avoid private friends, customer relationships and competitors being placed together in the same network group and to help facilitate honest and fruitful discussions.
