International Gender Champions




Geneva Geeks: Innovation and Impact show

Summary: Guests: Veronika Bard, Ambassador, Permanent Mission of Sweden to the United Nations in Geneva Caitlin Kraft-Buchman, Founder/ Executive Director, Women@TheTable Michael Møller, Director-General, United Nations Office at Geneva This episode features the Geneva’s role in founding the International Gender Champions – a leadership network that brings together female and male decision-makers to break down gender barriers. Anchored in International Geneva, the collective actions of executive leadership have a global impact on work culture and the integration of gender parity across sectors and around the world. Together committed leaders will generate momentum at the highest levels to champion meaningful change and facilitate strong cross-cutting links for the greatest possible impact. All International Gender Champions: • Sign the IGC Panel Parity Pledge to strive for gender parity in all discussions. • Undertake two additional SMART commitments that can be accomplished in one year to advance gender equality, either in the executive management of the organization or in programmatic work. The Geneva Geeks team couldn’t stop thinking about the unleashed potential of connecting leadership with activists around the world to make the dream of equal opportunity for all a reality.
