Heidrick & Struggles was once again a proud partner of the 2020 Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, which took place virtually from September 29 to October 1, 2020. This year’s theme was “Rising to the New Reality.”

The 22nd annual summit bought together female leaders across business, government, academia, philanthropy, and the arts for inspiring conversations, one-on-one interviews, panel discussions, and interactive breakout sessions.

This year, Heidrick & Struggles hosted a panel titled “How good boards operate.” Jenni Hibbert, global managing partner of Heidrick & Struggles’ Financial Services Practice, joined the discussion as a distinguished panelist.

The following videos are excerpts from the panel.
