0 comments

Sonia Killik from the UP Team joined other esteemed speakers at the 2023 Old Mutual OWN Summit, where the topic of what equity and equality means for women in today's time.

International Women’s Day (IWD) - a United Nations sanctioned global celebration held on 8 March every year - celebrates the contributions of women to society, raises awareness about the fight for gender equality and inspires support for organisations that help women globally.

The IWD theme for 2023 is #EmbraceEquity and during this event Old Mutual celebrated the women who are championing equity in the advancement of technology and digital education in the world, as the digital gender gap is explored and how it is widening economic and social inequalities.  

The panelists are comprised of Old Mutual's Celiwe Ross, (Director Group Strategy & Group Human Capital), who is also the proud patron of OWN, Zureida Ebrahim (Chief Operating Officer), S’onqoba Vuba (Business Development Manager, NEXT176 Strategic Partnerships) and Thabile Nyaba, (Chief Risk Officer, Old Mutual Insure).

The #EmbraceEquity theme resonates strongly with us at Old Mutual because diversity and inclusion are part of our core values. Inviting a panel of phenomenal women to join us in this discussion clarifies our commitment to driving transformation, inclusivity, and gender equality at home, in the workplace, across the communities in which we operate and throughout the world.
