What We Love

The Executive Women Officers Summit held by this life insurance firm in July 2011 drew together 90% of its employees in that category, along with its CEO and executive management committee members. Their mission: to explore ways to accelerate the advancement of female executive officers, from increasing the availability of events that foster collaboration between women in different functions to adopting techniques that make for better management of their careers. Multicultural leaders who took part in the event included Donna Ng, vice president and head of compensation, and Yie-H­sin Hung, senior managing director and head of institutional investments.
