The first one to talk was the HE Gaitri I. Kumar, High-Commissioner of India followed by Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, Baroness Fiona Hodgson, Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne and Baroness Jenkin of Kennington.



Each of them was very inspirational as they shared their own their own experiences, about their careers and, in sectors where women have often been underrepresented, they discussed how this has evolved over the course of their careers and what has or can be done to further increase representation.
