Join us for a reinvented Fireside Chat that spotlights the dynamic interplay between work–life balance, the power of diversity, and the support needed for women to rise to the top. Biotech trailblazer Dr. Sheila Gujrathi—renowned as a physician-scientist, healthcare investor, and founder of Mirror Movement—brings over 25 years of transformative experience in biotech and pharmaceuticals to this engaging conversation.

This year, we’re adding a special twist: Dr. Gujrathi and her daughter will take the stage together in a unique mother–daughter dialogue. Moderated by her daughter, this conversation will explore how career successes are achieved alongside building a family.

Topics Include:

• Journey to the Top: Tips for aspiring entrepreneurs and future STEM executives.

• Work–Life Balance: Strategies for harmonizing a demanding career with a fulfilling home life.

• Power of Diversity: How inclusive leadership strengthens teams and drives outstanding outcomes.

• Supporting Women’s Rise to the Top: Inspiring insights on nurturing and empowering women on their journey to leadership.

We’re thrilled to invite all Athena members to bring their daughters (ages 14 and up) to join this transformative conversation. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain invaluable insights and be inspired by a dialogue that bridges generational experiences in leadership and life.
