To mark this year’s International Women's Day (IWD), we invited two empowering leaders and diversity champions:

Meggie Palmer, the founder of PepTalkHer, an organization with the mission of closing the gender pay gap. Meggie and her team trained tens of thousands of professionals globally and helped companies achieve gender parity at all levels of the organization. In her former life, Meggie spent 15 years as a journalist and foreign correspondent traveling from Syria to Italy telling stories for networks including BBC World, CNBC, Channel 7, and Vogue.

Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, CEO of KET Solutions, a consulting firm focused on business growth, innovation, strategy, transformation, and inclusive leadership. Prior to this role, Kimberly served in global leadership roles for Oracle Corporation for nearly 17 years. She is the Chair of the AICPA’s National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion. Kimberly’s expertise and leadership has been recognized many times, including awards such as Accounting Today’s Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting and CPA Practice Advisor’s 25 Most Powerful Women in Accounting.
