2025 Wharton Women Business Conference Pivoting with Passion: Finding Success Beyond the Corporate Ladder

Register

Have you ever felt frustrated by the seemingly narrow career pathway at Penn? How often do you feel pressured to pursue banking or consulting, despite lacking genuine passion?

This year’s conference will explore these common concerns among Penn students, featuring inspiring female leaders who began their careers on traditional paths at firms like McKinsey and BCG but later pivoted to become Co-Founders and CEOs of their own ventures.

We will be hosting Judy Thelen, Co-Founder and CEO of Beli and ex-McKinsey, as well as an amazing panel of female business leaders across diverse industries, including Meaghan Rose WMBA'06, Angel Investor, Founder of Rocksbox, and ex-McKinsey, Samantha Mashaal C'19, CEO of SotoMethod and ex-McKinsey, Suchi Sastri WU'07, Managing Director at Nexus Capital Management and ex-BCG, Maria Poster C'19, Co-Founder of PerfectTed and Forbes 30 under 30, and Adelfolakunmi Adenugba, Founder and Art Advisor for ISE-DA and Forbes 30 under 30. Please arrive on time for check-in, as representatives from WW's platinum sponsors (Warburg Pincus and Capital One) will be there until 12:15pm.
