🔥 Empowered women empower women—and we saw that in action at last night’s Women in Leadership Development (W.I.L.D.) Social. Hosted by W.I.L.D. partner Scotiabank, the evening featured Chris McMartin, a dynamic leader driving The Scotiabank Women Initiative Business Banking Strategy… across Canada. And yes—we can now all say we’ve danced at the bank! 💃 W.I.L.D. is made possible thanks to the incredible support of @scotiabank @themarcgroupinc and @fairchancelearning who help us bring this special program to life. We’re deeply grateful for their commitment. If you haven’t yet experienced the power of W.I.L.D., watch for new cohorts opening in early 2026.
