Her Voice will provide quality interviews from female leaders who have managed to not only make it into the science and business worlds but to also change the status-quo and create lasting impact for the better.
“From tech and entrepreneurship to the sustainability transition, the women on the podcast will be eager to share their knowledge so that they can inspire and shed a new light on what it means to be a female leader.”
ESCP believes dreams and ambitions are born from the representations we are provided with as children and young adults, and therefore it's crucial to share the voices of these women in the hope that it will participate in the creation of the next generation of leaders.

The podcast will feature on ‘The Choice’ – a media platform powered by ESCP which brings together a variety of voices that reflect both the European and international footprint of the school.
