Private equity with a political twist. Many thanks to LEVEL20 FRANCE for hosting such an informative and inspiring event.

Strategies to build confidence and credibility are essential tools for our Emerging Talent cohort at Level 20, so we were delighted to join forces with new sponsor Apollo Global Management, Inc. to host a breakfast panel with Apollo's Women's Network (AWE) in partnership with GAIN UK.   Four female investment leaders at Apollo shared their thoughts on how they frame their understanding of the different forces driving the macroeconomic environment and gave their tips on how to leverage this skill for career development.   Top takeaways included listening to podcasts like Pivot or reading The Economist between flights.   Our great thanks to moderator Ana Cortés, Associate at Apollo and Level 20 committee member, and panellists Natalia Tsitoura, Claudia Scarico, Kelly Menendez Holland and Valeria Mollova.

We are delighted to welcome Deutsche Private Equity (DPE) as a Level 20 sponsor supporting #genderdiversity in #privateequity across Europe.

It all started in the kitchen at Cinven... Oakley Capital Partner and Level 20 Chair Rebecca Gibson and Cinven Partner and Level 20 co-founder Alexandra Hess got together recently to talk careers, family, flexible working and strategies for success (just say yes). The full fireside chat is available on the member portal - it's free! Join us, and be a part of change. https://lnkd.in/dcbqNvWx

And the prize for the most beautiful decor goes to Mr Fogg's House of Botanicals in London's Fitzrovia, where we hosted our closing event for this year's mentoring cohort. Now entering it's 10th year, Level 20's industry-leading mentoring programme goes from strength: More than 1200 women have taken part 83% of participants have since been promoted 93% remain in the industry Now that calls for a cocktail!

It was a glorious summer’s evening when KKR hosted our Emerging Talent networking event on their stunning terrace. The women in attendance were all incredibly impressive and sure to be future leaders in our industry. Our very great thanks to Michaela Wood, Sian Drew and Laali Vadlamani for their efforts to support Level 20 in its mission to ensure at least 20% of senior roles in private equity are held by women. 

Being a small firm doesn't mean you can't accommodate an intern - in fact, it often means they have more exposure to the business and are able to make more of a contribution. We work with GAIN UK to match firms with young women taking part. Don't miss out. Sign up by Friday for this year's programme.

Fantastic to see the work our our international sponsors make a real difference in the workplace for both mothers and fathers #BeAPartOfChange
