Independent private capital fund administrator Gen II, has continued the evolution of its Women’s Network initiative, hosting the first in a series of in-person events across its network of European offices.
In Jersey, Gen II teamed up with local coaching agency, Alt Collective, to host its first in-person event at the business’s innovative, in-house collaborative workspace, The Bridge. Following a warm welcome from Alt Collective’s co-founders and lead coaches, Claudia Sutton and Sophie Clyde-Smith, guests enjoyed an inspiring panel discussion between Gen II’s Liz Dowling, Zoe Dewhurst, and Leah Kerley before moving on to a guided session which facilitated a unique opportunity to connect attendees from across every level of the business.
Originally established across its North American offices, the evolution of Gen II’s Women’s Network to include digital and in-person events across its European locations is evidence of the business’s ongoing commitment to the initiative. Chaired by Gen II’s Chief Commercial Officer and acting Head of Europe, Ishita Shah, the Women’s Network aims to create opportunities for women across every area of the business and at every stage of their career, to build connections, encourage meaningful conversations and support career development.
Commenting on the Women’s Network initiative, Ishita said: “Gen II’s Women’s Network provides support and the opportunity to connect women across our organisation helping to empower each other’s personal growth and professional development. Alt Collective, whose own passion lies in creating and hosting impactful events though which women can connect, grow and thrive in their careers, were the perfect choice to help host the first of our in-person events in Jersey. I look forward to future events and continuing Gen II’s journey as a diverse and inclusive organisation.”
Alt Collective’s Claudia Sutton added: “At Alt Collective we’re on a mission to facilitate life-changing conversation that empower individuals and organisations to flourish and reach their potential. It’s fantastic to work with organisations like Gen II who are equally committed to providing similar opportunities for their employees through initiatives like the Women’s Network, not just locally here in Jersey but worldwide.”
