Context
The SheXO Club is a forum for senior businesswomen — including CEOs and board members — established under the guidance of Deloitte. The global Deloitte SheXO network has operated since 2011 across 10 Central European countries; its Latvian chapter aims to increase women's representation in executive and boardroom positions.
Activities
The Latvian chapter has held more than 15 quarterly events on topics such as strategic development, crisis communication, workplace culture and strategic risk-taking, combining networking, learning and peer support. More than 40 women leaders in Latvia have joined to date.
Conclusions
No independent evaluation of career or leadership outcomes for participants was identified; the description is self-reported by the promoter (Deloitte Latvia).
