Women are already doing the hard work of enterprise transformation—running complex GBS operations, fixing what’s broken, and delivering results under pressure. The real question is: why are so few of these leaders shaping the enterprise agenda?

This session challenges the “great operator” ceiling and explores how successful GBS leaders have stepped into true enterprise-shaping roles. Through real stories of women who moved from trusted executors to strategic decision-makers, we’ll unpack what actually made the difference—visibility over humility, sponsorship over self-reliance, leveraging AI as strategic insight accelerator rather than a barrier, and stretch ownership over safe progression. Expect a candid conversation on what organizations must change to build a stronger female leadership pipeline and what women leaders must stop waiting for. Walk away with practical, actionable insights on elevating impact, accelerating the next generation of female leaders, and ensuring women are present where enterprise transformation decisions are truly made.
