Forging new connections
The UK has three committees: Senior Leaders’, Future Leaders’ and Emerging Talent — all of which connect women working at different levels in the industry.
Committee members play a vital role supporting Level 20’s events programme, suggesting relevant and timely topics for regular digital and live events which include technical training workshops, networking and interpersonal skills.
We are looking forward to welcoming more ambitious women that are in the early stages of their private equity careers to Level 20’s Emerging Talent network.
