Most companies today are embracing a hybrid work set up, which can bring challenges to employees hoping to move up the corporate ladder. For starters, they no longer have access to the traditional opportunities for career advancement — such as networking, mentorship and visibility — which come in a full-time physical office.

Women in Retail Leadership Circle(WIRLC) is digging into this meaty topic during a session at the The Lead Innovation Summit, a conference for brand and retail leaders to stay ahead of innovation and grow a more profitable direct-to-consumer business model. The event is taking place July 12-13 in New York City. WIRLC is excited to be partnering with the Lead Innovation Summit for the first time!

In the session, we will speak with fabulous WIRLC members Andrea Moore, chief marketing officer, NEST New York, and Sabrina Cherubini, senior vice president, brand and digital, Hanky Panky. We will discuss how they’ve been able to advance their careers in the new hybrid work world, as well as offer attendees tips and best practices for how they can move up the corporate ladder in the current environment as well.

The Lead Innovation Summit features more than 2,000 attendees, more than 45 content sessions, and over 140 speakers from brands and retailers such as Macy’s, Abercrombie & Fitch, Esteé Lauder, e.l.f. Beauty, Fossil, True Religion, HATCH, Bombas, thredUp, Allbirds,  PacSun, and more. Topics include everything from using artificial intelligence to generate profitability to connecting to Gen Z and everything in between. Check out the agenda here.

Brands and retailers can attend the event for free by registering here and using our partner code, WIRxTheLeadSummit.

I can’t wait to see you there!
