For the final episode we pulled together an all-star panel consisting of three amazing women at the top of their game.  On the couch(es) this week we’re joined by Katie Rigg-Smith - CEO of Mindshare, Kristie Asciak - Head of Fuse and Melissa Fein - CEO of Ensemble. We chat about their careers, the trials and tribulations of being a woman at the top in the cut throat & male dominated Media & Advertising industry.  Their views on quotas & diversity, advice for those coming through the ranks (both male & female), and how each of them inspire, lead and navigate the challenges of running multi-million dollar businesses. Its BIG one!
