Building Resilience: A #FinBiz2030 Series
“Leadership, Purpose and Ethics”

Tuesday 27 October 17.30 GMT / 18.30 SAST / 12.30 EST

About the event

Following from the previous event, “Equality. Diversity. Opportunity”, we are proud to present “Leadership, Purpose and Ethics” as the next in our Building Resilience series.

The economic crisis touching every part of the world is forcing organisations to re-examine their values and broader purpose.  It is increasingly apparent that those leading without accountability, empathy and ethics will not survive this period and that business leaders must look to support the widest set of stakeholders. It has never been more pressing for leaders of every sector to steer themselves in a moral direction.  Join us as we hear from leaders who will tell us why young people must have the knowledge and resilience to address the challenges confronting our professional and personal lives.

Speakers include:

  • Cara Haffey CA, Deals Partner at PwC
  • Indy Hothi CA, Vice President, ICAS
  • Kate Robertson, Co-Founder of One Young World
  • Diana Muendo CA, Co-Founder of M.Y.O
  • Jonny Jacobs CA, Financial Director EMEA of Starbucks
  • Monica Moisin, Founder of the Cultural Intellectual Property Rights Initiative™
  • Selva Montealegre, Diversity and Inclusion at Abinbev
  • Bruce Cartwright CA, Chief Executive of ICAS, Chartered Accountants Worldwide Board Member

Who should attend?

The ‘Building Resilience’ webinar series is aimed at young finance, accountancy and business professionals, students and One Young World Ambassadors.

About the series

Every corner of the world has been touched by this pandemic unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. As it stands, the socioeconomic outlook is uncertain and the future is challenging as millions have experienced some sort of displacement in their professional and personal lives.

But as the world begins to adjust to COVID-19 and move forward, we need to ensure the world’s workforce is ready to rebuild with optimism and lead with resilience. We must work towards creating a more sustainable future, and that requires each and every one of us to play our part.

As part of the ‘Building Resilience’ Series, we will bring you insight and experience from young leaders and experts that will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to lead through this uncertain time.

Kate served as Chairman of the Havas group from 2006 to 2015 and as Global President from 2013. Working mainly in global roles, Kate became convinced of the importance of the roles of global institutions and global businesses in the certainty that what unites people is greater than geographical distance and national distinctions.

Having grown up in apartheid South Africa, Kate’s world view is defined by having witnessed the creation of its new way of life. Awed by the leadership of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kate believes in the limitless possibilities a sense of shared humanity can create.

Inspired by her love for the Olympic movement and its values, One Young World should, in Kate’s vision, give young leaders a chance to meet their counterparts from every country in the world and resolve to make the world a better place.
