Hong Kong summit to help shine light on diversity and inclusion in boardroom

Hong Kong will host its first summit among female financial leaders next month, the Women Chief Executives Hong Kong (WCE HK) announced on Monday.

The November 3 event is set to become the city’s largest gathering of senior women leaders in finance, bringing together more than 200 C-suite senior executives, including global CEOs and chief financial officers (CFOs).

“This unparalleled gathering underscores Hong Kong’s pivotal role in fostering international dialogue on leadership and its global calibre,” said the WCE HK, which was founded in 2018 by a group of current and former women financial leaders to champion diversity and inclusion.

The summit aims to shine a light on women’s leadership and impact while welcoming “both female leaders and male allies who share our vision of developing an inclusive financial ecosystem”.

Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po will deliver a keynote speech at the event.
