It was great to read the FT's inaugural ranking of the top 50 women in business this weekend.

Sad to learn from the same article that just 3 per cent of Fortune 500 chief executives are women and that across Europe, only 10 per cent of board directors of the largest companies are female. That makes this challenge exciting I guess. Starting from such a low base, we can have a significant and rapid impact.
I dined with an amazing woman this week. (I collect inspiring women at every opportunity). I collected this one at TED Global and we now meet when our business travel collides. She's running AIG's sustainable investment fund at age 36 and still finds time to be a mother of two, and gorgeous. We need more of those.
When I wasn't dining out with inspiring women this weekend, I was at London Fashion Week eating away at my retirement fund. (Any child of mine will need to accept a smashing collection of vintage clothing as their only inheritance.) It was wonderful - a chaotic mish-mash of creativity and stylish women everywhere dressed to impressed with their own unique concoctions. 'Sass and Bide' (below) won my heart, and funds yet again. 
But I digress...
I do feel the tide is turning and feminism is indeed very quickly becoming in vogue.
I finished the format for our debate at Davos this week. I'll describe it here next week. Now I need to find a sponsor. Never easy. I'll report back on progress soon and if anyone's interested give me a shout!
