For International Women s Day, we asked World Economic Forum Managing Director Sarita Nayyar to share the lessons she learned from some of the women who have inspired her throughout her career.
The list includes Maya Angelou, Indra Nooyi and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Each year, International Women s Day is a reminder of how far we still have to go to closing the gender gap and achieving gender parity.
At the same time, it s an opportunity to pay tribute to the inspirational women who are playing vital roles in our economies and societies. This year, in particular, the world is recognizing the crucial role women are playing in the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
