Happy Friday, MPW Daily readers! I spent last night at a 20th anniversary celebration for the
Cartier Women’s Initiative. In a week in which we saw some new programs for women in business
come on the scene, it was inspiring to learn more about one that has been supporting women entrepreneurs so consistently, for so long (like we have through Fortune Most Powerful Women!).
Sending you into the weekend with the latest career moves to know. If you’re in the Northeast like me, stay safe in this Nor’easter!
