Books To The Boardroom
In conversation with Jo Jessop, CEO of Multicap
For a woman in business, it can be lonely at the top. Historically, the representation of women in the boardroom has been shamefully low, and equitable hiring at companies across the board has left much to be desired. But slowly, change is coming.
On today’s episode of the Books to the Boardroom podcast we meet with Jo Jessop, CEO of Multicap. Jo is such an inspiration for all women looking to break into the c-level suite. Her story reveals how she went from being a pharmacist to heading one of Australia's leading disability organisations. She talks about her role in guiding Multicap through the challenging COVID times, gender inequalities, provides purpose driven leadership advice and so much more.
You’ll definitely be inspired after the stories and lessons Jo’s shares on this week's episode of Books to the Boardroom.
