Ulster Bank partners with the Women's Executive Network™

30th January, 2009

Ulster Bank, four times winner of the prestigious KPMG Business Bank of the Year Award is proud to continue their tradition of supporting business and entrepreneurship by partnering with the Women's Executive Network™ (WXN™).

WXN™ is a market leading Canadian organisation dedicated to the advancement and recognition of executive-minded women in the workplace. WXN™ in Ireland will look to promote a similar model through innovative networking and the delivery of mentoring and professional development programmes in order to support and recognise female senior executives; managers in business, government and non-profit sectors; plus entrepreneurs in all areas of business.

A series of WXN™ breakfast meetings showcasing Ireland's most celebrated and influential female leaders in the private and public sectors will be held throughout 2009 in Dublin, Belfast and Cork. The first three WXN™ breakfasts have already attracted great attention amongst Ireland's business community by featuring well known speakers such as Mary Davis, CEO of Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia; Danuta Grey, CEO O2, Maeve Donovan, CEO Irish Times, Louise Kennedy, Fashion Designer; Jane McDonnell, Publisher, The Gloss Magazine and Amanda Pratt, Creative Director, Avoca.
