Going Portfolio - the Good the Bad and the Ugly

Have you considered switching from a full time career to a portfolio career, i.e. one where you hold maybe a couple of board seats, and do a bit of consulting on top?  Then you are not alone.

Post-Covid, the number of former senior managers who have decided to hang up their executive careers and instead pursue a NED role has multiplied.  Often cited reasons include work-life balance, commuting time, childcare costs and "flexibility".  Then you are not alone.

Two Wharton alumnae, Gabrielle Hase (WG 00) and Caroline Cartellieri (WG 96) will share what they have discovered in their pursuit of portfolio careers and offer advice and practical tips on how to make it happen.

Gabrielle is an experienced portfolio Non-Executive Director and board advisor for both PLC and private companies including Ultra Commerce, Planks Clothing, K3 Business Technology Group and Tate Enterprises. Gabrielle sits at the intersection of consumer brands and retail technology, and has deep expertise in helping companies navigate digital transformation and maximise eCommerce opportunities to create shareholder value.

Caroline is an award-winning C-Suite Executive with over 25+ years’ experience in digital transformation, marketing, strategy and technology in the retail, travel and digital health sectors.  She is currently a non-Executive Director at Europ Assistance, Saffron Building Society, Museum of London Trading Board and Asthma + Lung UK.

Join us for drinks and nibbles on May 20th at UWC and participate in an interactive session with Caroline and Gabrielle where they talk about the Good, the Bad and the Ugly in forging your own independent path.

Tickets include drinks and nibbles and are non-refundable.
