Workforce Re-entry: Strategies & Considerations

This timely event is focused on professionals who intend to have a family and/or already have a family and have taken a short or extended career break.

Topics covered include:

• How to stage your career for an exit or entry
  

• Best practices about returning to the workplace
  

• Balancing personal and professional priorities
  

In a time when there are so many headlines about high-profile women and their family choices, we are excited to have Christine Brown-Quinn (Author and Entrepreneur, Co-Founder & MD Women in Business Superseries) and Alexandra Beauregard (Lecturer, LSE) join us to address these topics.  We expect to have a lively discussion and look forward to seeing you and any interested friends/colleagues on May 8th.

Panelists 

Christine Brown-Quinn, Author and Entrepreneur, Co-Founder & MD Women in Business Superseries
Following 20+ years in International Finance, Christine Brown-Quinn, together with her business partner Jacqueline Frost, launched 'Women in Business Superseries' in order to create a platform to share their strategies for getting ahead in demanding corporate environments. As a former Managing Director in Fixed Income, Christine is well versed in what it takes to forge a thriving career in highly pressurised, alpha environments. Through the Series, aspiring professional women discover the practical, hands-on strategies to fast track their careers - these are business strategies, albeit through a "female lens".  Christine is also a published author on work-life balance for professional women. Step Aside Super Woman is resonating with professional women across a wide range of age groups, sectors as well as continents.
Christine has an undergraduate degree in Foreign Languages from Georgetown University (Cum Laude) and an MBA in International Business from George Washington University (Beta Gamma Sigma scholar). She has also tutored for Georgetown University’s Graduate Program in International Management at Oxford University on managing diversity in the workplace.
