This International Women’s Day 2025, the theme of Accelerate Action reminds us that while progress toward women’s equality continues, there is still work to be done.
In this special #IWD2025 interview, Annie Moon, Deputy CEO & Partnerships Lead at The Diversity Trust, sits down with Celeste Whatley, CEO of TRANSEARCH International, to discuss what accelerating action truly means in today’s world. Together, they explore the current state of gender equality, the critical steps needed to drive meaningful change, and the role of corporate leadership in championing progress.
As a women-led executive search firm with a global footprint, TRANSEARCH is committed to championing diversity and inclusion at the highest levels of leadership. This conversation also highlights how their partnership with The Diversity Trust is helping to drive tangible action in the corporate world.
Join us as we discuss how leaders can step up, businesses can take responsibility, and individuals can contribute to a more equitable future.
