Schmooze is all about building a strong network of business relationships, not just outside of your company, but inside of your company as well.

But, as one well-regarded influencer recently said, the ultimate goal is to turn some of those relationships into alliances. Internal alliances are what can protect your job, get your projects green-lit, and get you promoted.

Our panelists will tell us how to make this happen:

Joy Mbanugo, CFO of CXAI

Erin Essenmacher, Chair of Athena Alliance's Advisory Board

Shannel Reed, DEI Manager at Hunter, a premier communications firm.

When I interviewed Zoe Bogan for the Schmooze newsletter, she told me "“Revenue generation is the game-changer for women. For too long, we’ve been told that if we work hard, keep our heads down, and deliver, someone will notice and reward us."

"But the truth is—what gets rewarded is revenue. Revenue is power. It’s the ticket to partnership, to leadership, to influence. And here’s the part that’s so important: when women generate revenue, they are no longer waiting for someone else to validate them."

These women will tell you how they built business relationships that led to revenue & results.

Zoe Bogan is the founder of ZB Agency. She spent 13 years driving revenue at KPMG. She founded her company to teach women to close deals and increase revenue so they can make partner.

Germaine Gurr is a partner at Sidley & Austin. You don't make partner at a top law firm unless you are what's called a "rainmaker".

Our moderator, Janae Henderson, is the Head of Brand Marketing and Events for Sumitomo Mitsui Bank.

We usually think of networking as building business relationships with people who don't work at the same company that we do.

However, as one woman executive said to me, the same things that helped you land the job won't necessarily help you to keep it. Once you're in the seat, you need people who can give you the corporate "tea", support your projects, and champion you when you're not in the room. You want to get that tap on the shoulder that enables you to move up.

These women will tell you how they did it.

Masako Konishi is a senior retail executive who has won multiple industry awards. She is currently the EVP of Merchandising & Buying for Alo Yoga.

Christine Farrier Rosemin is the founder of TechWalk. She has held senior roles in partner & channel marketing at tech companies like Rho, Gusto, & DemandBase.

Erica Hanson spent 17 years at Google. She led developer relations & community at Google and then at FlutterFlow.

The panel will be moderated by Alexias Anderson is a senior cybersecurity executive who spent over 15 years at General Electric.
