100 Women in Operations - the leaders that shape our network

CELEBRATING 100 WOMEN IN OPERATIONS!

This International Women’s Day we launched a celebration of our members, women who are thriving in their operational career, across multiple industries.

Throughout the year we will celebrate #100 Women in Operations, movers and shakers drawn from our membership and spanning 9 industry sectors that have historically employed women in less than 30% of operational positions.

Join us in celebrating 100 brilliant women from the NAWO network by nominating women from your team who are forging a successful career in industry. Learn about the jobs they do, the career paths they have forged and their passion for operations!

Celebrate the incredible women in our network with us by tuning into our fortnightly Check In & Chats and nominating inspiring leaders from your team.

Follow us on social media to view our 100 Women in Operations campaign or visit our campaign page to learn all about these leaders.

Listen to our podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify!

Meet Daphnie Christodoulou, Warehouse Operations Manager at Lincoln Sentry. She introduced family friendly shifts to the warehouse and found that it led to higher productivity, less absenteeism and more fulfilled team members.
