Milan, Italy – October 8-9
Ready to collaborate to build an equitable future at the LEAD Network Conference 2025

Three quarters of buying decisions are made by women, yet only a third of European consumer leaders are female. Change is needed if we are to build the future consumers want and need.
That’s why we are members of the active and influential LEAD Network, working together to shape a thriving retail and consumer industry.
“I look forward to working alongside you all to move the industry forward, uplifting women and making real measurable progress in achieving gender parity.”
Wil Schoenmakers, Senior Partner & Global Head of Retail and Consumer Goods Newton

“Our power lies in the diverse collection of approaches, thinking and skills we bring to each programme of work. The conference is a chance for us to reflect on how we build a diverse workplace and take action to keep improving.”
Jazz Swift, Director – Consumer Newton
We plan to share articles about building cultures and making change happen ahead of the conference and summary thoughts afterwards. Let us know if you’d like to receive them.
