More women in consulting - Listen, learn and lead the change
This podcast series that amplifies the perspectives of women in the consulting industry. Through honest conversations and personal reflections, we explore what it takes to lead, connect, and thrive in a field still striving for gender balance.
Each episode dives into key topics such as parental leave, internal and external networking, and leadership — all through the lens of those navigating the consulting world as women and allies.
This series builds on the work of the More Women in Consulting initiative — a cross-company collaboration launched in 2020 under the Confederation of Danish Industry, which over several years has mapped key challenges and gathered concrete, actionable solutions to drive progress across the management consulting industry.
Each episode delves into themes such as leadership, networking, parental leave, and equal pay. Through in-depth conversations with industry professionals, we explore what’s working and what still needs to change.
The foundation of this podcast is the 2024 inspirational catalogue, which presents 8 key initiatives and concrete recommendations for improving gender equality in management consulting.

Beyond the Office – The Power of External Networks
Your network is your net worth!
In this episode, Beyond the Office: The Power of External Networks, we explore how external professional networks can support and advance women’s careers.
We dive into the value of external networks, how they differ from internal company initiatives, and whether women-only networks bring something distinct to the table. You'll also get practical tips on how to find a network that fits—and how to make those connections truly meaningful.
Joining us to share their experiences and insights are four inspiring network leaders:
- Barbara Myhre Isaksen (Connected Women in AI)
- Mathilde Nærland (SEED Network)
- Ifeoma Okpala Aina (Professional Women of Colour Denmark)
- Arianne Nolan (Female Leadership Academy)
Together, we’ll discuss:
- The real value and purpose of professional networks for women
- What external networks can offer that internal ones may not
- How to identify the right network for your goals and values
- How to get the most out of your membership
- And whether female-only networks offer unique advantages compared to mixed groups
