Event Details
We are delighted to extend to you a special invitation to the live broadcast launch of the FTSE Women Leaders Review report on Tuesday 25 February 2025 from 10:15am to 11:30am.
The FTSE Women Leaders Review has made remarkable strides, with the FTSE 350 achieving over 40% women’s representation on boards ahead of the target. However, our work is far from complete. Achieving gender balance and diversity on boards and leadership teams has never been more crucial to harness the wealth of experience, expertise and skills essential for business to navigate complex issues successfully.
With just one year remaining to reach our recommendations, realising genuine equality and enabling further progress will require a united commitment from us all to achieve the 40% women in leadership target and to drive more appointments of women into the ‘four key roles’; the Chair, Senior Independent Director, CEO and Finance Director.
We therefore warmly invite you to join us for the 2024 report launch, where we will share new and exclusive findings on the progress made in achieving gender balance during the year. We are delighted that the Secretary of State for the Department of Business & Trade and the Minister for Women & Equalities will be sharing their support for the Review, and we are excited to host a panel of distinguished guests who will share insights on how they are accelerating progress.
Our panellists include:
– Allison Kirkby, CEO BT Group Plc
– Lee Chambers, Business Psychologist, Speaker, Author
– Yetunde Hofmann, Non-Executive Director Cranswick Plc
– Mary Ann Sieghart, Author of ‘The Authority Gap’
Please confirm your attendance at this virtual event by completing this registration form. If you encounter any difficulties during the registration process, our team is available to assist you at [email protected]
This year, our event will be exclusively a live broadcast, and so we encourage you to share this invitation with your network.

- Understanding the importance of career planning.

Karmen Novak: Transforming Passion into a Thriving Business
Karmen Novak’s brand, Flower and Spice Modern Apothecary, is a harmonious blend of luxury and nature. At 35, she relocated to a small town in the Netherlands for love, finding herself at a crossroads in her professional life. As a seasoned marketer and video producer, she quickly realized the new city lacked compelling career opportunities. Faced with this challenge, Karmen decided it was the perfect time to embrace something new.
After spending 15 years navigating the fast-paced, high-stress corporate world, she yearned for a change—something more fulfilling and creative. Always captivated by natural, indulgent products, she followed her curiosity and enrolled in Formula Botanica, an esteemed organic skincare science school in England. The experience awakened her passion for formulating lotions and potions, and she discovered a deep joy in creating products that nourish both body and soul.
Guided by her mantra, “Anyone can change their profession and destiny by learning something new—it’s never too late to pursue what makes you truly happy,” Karmen transformed her passion into a purpose-driven business.
Now, at 44, Karmen continues to grow her flourishing brand. Partnering with distributors in Switzerland and China, she is taking Flower and Spice Modern Apothecary to new heights.
In her interview, Karmen will share her inspiring journey—the struggles, the successes, and the pivotal moments that defined her path. Whether you’re considering a career pivot or looking to take the next step toward your dreams, Karmen’s story will remind you that reinvention is always possible when you follow your passion.
