This year, PRESTIGE took part in the inspiring LEAD Network conference „We’re All In,“ which was held on October 8 and 9, 2025, in Milan. It was all about diversity, inclusion, and leadership in our industry.
Focused on creating workplaces where fairness, support, and belonging are at the heart of business success, the conference emphasized the importance of working together to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
During this year’s conference, our CEO, Darina Stoyanova, renewed PRESTIGE’s commitment to LEAD Network Europe and signed the CEO Gender Equity Pledge, stating:
„At PRESTIGE, we are proud to renew our commitment to the LEAD Network CEO Gender Equity Pledge. With 63% of our workforce and 71% of senior positions held by women, we are encouraged by the progress we have made. We remain steadfast in our pursuit of meaningful change – to build a culture of inclusion, empower diverse talent, and promote equality at all levels of our organization. We are honored to have created the LEAD Network Bulgaria Chapter, which further strengthens our efforts to fight for gender equality and inclusion at the local level.“
Darina was joined by our colleagues Boryana Kiteva, Detelina Stoyanova, Galina Tsanova, Nadezhda Dimitrova, and Nadezhda Zaharieva, LEAD Network Europe Executive Director Alison Zimmerman, LEAD Network co-founder Mick Broekhoff, and Sharon Jeske, former director and current member of the Advisory Board.
