Cynthia Renaud has risen to the very top of her profession through grit, determination, hard work. She has embraced the opportunities that arose and juggled police work in the 44th most populous city in America with single motherhood. Yet she never had a five-year plan or charted out a rigid career path.
At this year’s Think Global Women conference, Dr Sue Shortland spoke about three key issues relevant to understanding EDI issues and the implications for women. She focused on equity, inclusion, and horizontal and vertical segregation.
Elaine Hery, managing partner at Eres Relocation, never intended to start her own business. In fact, if life had gone to plan, she would probably be a marketing executive or in a senior leadership role at ICI, the British multinational chemical giant where she started her career. But life—and love—had other ideas.
Dr Patrizia Kokot-Blamey is a Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies at Queen Mary, University of London, and her research interests are in gender at work.

Her broader research interests focus on motherhood, breastfeeding and women’s bodies at work.
