Deloitte Luxembourg

For International Women’s Day 2020, we took the opportunity to celebrate the women of Deloitte. 

During last week’s International Women’s Day event, our colleagues Iva, Maryam, Veronika, Gosia, Valentina, Francesca, Danielle, Laureline, Patricia, and Bettina kindly agreed to share their leadership journey experiences and offered suggestions on how to overcome challenges in order to create a more gender balanced workplace.
