Jane Egerton-Idehen
Founder
Hi there!
A couple of years ago, I set up a forum in my organization where females could work together to promote more females to remain in the organization. But more importantly, to support each other in developing and growing our careers. Once every quarter, a senior female executive in my organization dials in by video conference to support us with career advice, by sharing their experiences or discussing relevant career topics. Presenters were open to questions after each session. We would have participants dial in from different countries (Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya. Dakar, Sweden, UAE, Mexico, USA etc.). I ran these sessions for about two years. It grew and the demand for these sessions were unbelievable. I started Women & Career as a way to reach out to other women beyond my organization. These sessions are now externally available. Using social media and online presence, we have set up this platform targeted towards women globally that want to grow their careers. The platform will share career advice, practical tips, tools and resources from different female executives .
My name is Jane Egerton-Idehen, a telecommunication executive. I have a strong passion for promoting girls in STEM and ensuring women in STEM industries remain and grow their careers in that industry. I love to curate thoughts around my career journey, experiences and passion in life. I hope you love our platform. We are here to serve and inspire you to join our conversation!
