Ep. 112: The Path to the Executive Suite for Women

Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Petra Kuret, Managing Director at Accenture

There are steps to the path to leadership for women in complex international organizations.

That is according to Petra Kuret, Managing Director at Accenture. She says it starts with picking the right company, a company with a culture that promotes diversity and opportunity for all. She leads an executive team of five at Accenture British Columbia: four women and one man.

The path to leadership is complex for anyone and more so for women. Kuret points out, "In addition to the culture of the company, women need to be willing to stretch beyond their comfort zone, develop that next level of skill set, take intellectual risks, develop mentors and find a work life integration all the while developing leadership skills."

The journey to leadership is challenging in a global company but she says, "It's a path that will allow you to realize your full potential."
