9:05-9:15 HerWay to Wellness | Kerry

Women’s health is often oversimplified and has traditionally been underrepresented in research and new product development, leading to the women’s health gap.

Not only that, but female health does not only comprise of reproductive and sexual health issues, instead encompassing everything from women-specific conditions to more general health conditions that may affect women differently or disproportionately.

Kerry has gone on a journey over the last 5 years to become a leader in the women’s health space, providing a portfolio of science-backed ingredients that address women’s most pressing needs.

As a leader in this space, we understand that our role needs to go beyond providing solutions, to helping to educate individuals on the discrepancies in women’s health and the women’s health gap that exists. That is why we have created ‘HerWay’, an impactful online resource for women and those who care for them. It houses helpful information and science-backed research on health issues unique to the female body.

In addition to this, the Kerry Health and Nutrition Institute (KHNI), now in its 10th year, is a platform that provides unbiased, non-commercially focused thought leadership on all thing's health and nutrition. With a dedicated Women’s Health Hub, the KHNI team work with experts around the world to provide clear and concise information, helping to educate both consumers and those in the food, beverage and supplements industries on all things women’s health.

Kerry is prioritizing HER health by addressing women’s most pressing health challenges - because driving progress in women’s health is an imperative for improving the quality of life for women around the world.

09:15-9:45 Panel Discussion | Breaking barriers: Women redefining leadership

Stepping into a leadership role demands more than just new responsibilities; it requires a profound shift in mindset. For women, this journey is often accompanied by significant hormonal and life changes that influence decision-making, confidence, and career progression. Striking a balance between ambition and personal life is a delicate act, often leading women to overlook their own well-being.

Hear from a multifaceted group of women who have turned their setbacks into comebacks. Their stories of overcoming failures, adversities, tragedies, and losses are a testament to their resilience and perseverance. These narratives offer a fresh perspective on personal growth, highlighting how diverse experiences and challenges can empower you to become a stronger and better leader.

Discover how these women built the confidence to advocate for themselves and redefine what’s possible. Learn how aligning work, purpose, and health can pave the way for long-term success and leadership.
