We have 12 incredible women to thank for creating Level 20 in 2015. Co-founder and past Chair Jennifer Dunstan of 3i Group plc explains how it quickly grew from an informal network to the organisation it is today.
About us
Level 20 is a not for profit organisation founded in 2015 by 12 women working in senior roles in private equity, aligned around a common vision of improving gender diversity in the industry. We aim to inspire women to join and succeed in this dynamic industry by creating opportunities for them to interact and learn from the insights and experience of others. Our vision is underpinned by a focus on four key initiatives: mentoring and development; networking and events; outreach and advocacy; and research. We are supported financially by 119 private equity firms and over 5,500 individual members who together help create a strong voice for improving gender diversity across the industry. Our goal is for women to hold 20% of senior positions in the European private equity industry.

Level 20 reposted this

I've been working with Level 20 since April and I am endlessly impressed by the calibre of women I meet. Working in private equity reminds me of the variety of journalism in many ways. Investment professionals need to be multi-skilled, clever, curious, able to absorb a lot of information in a short space of time and translate it into quick decisions, they need resilience, emotional intelligence, and people skills as well as the ability to read a spreadsheet, (ok that last one is not my strong point). The more I hear about private equity as a career, the more I wish I'd known about it sooner. If you, or your kids - as A Level results day looms tomorrow - want to know more, check out the website. And good luck to anyone opening that envelope tomorrow!
