In an industry where female entrepreneurs remain the exception rather than the rule, this panel brings together women who have built successful insights businesses by identifying unmet needs, challenging traditional models, and leading with a clear point of view. They’ll share the realities of starting and growing a company in a competitive, evolving space, and how their experiences have shaped the way they lead, innovate, and create value. This conversation will go beyond founder origin stories to explore what it really takes to build and sustain a business in insights today. From carving out differentiated positions in the market to navigating growth, credibility, and change, attendees will gain an honest look at the opportunities and obstacles these leaders have faced — and the future they are helping define.
