Highlights from Liza Mundy's panel on how women can thrive in the workplace
Liza Mundy moderated a panel last month at the ASU+GSV Summit with Karen Freeman-Wilson, mayor of Gary, Ind.; Amber Grewal, vice president of global talent acquisition for IBM; Laura Zarrow, executive director of Wharton People Analytics; and Georgia Wong, founder of Fairy Godboss.
