KIP Leading Women Cocktail - Eureka - 10th July 2026

An evening of celebration, meaningful networking, inspiring conversations, and beautiful music as we marked the 10th Anniversary of the KIP Leading Women Programme.

A special thank you to the many women leaders and male allies whose commitment continues to shape more inclusive organisations. And to our sponsor Moments by PhoenixBev for their support.

The evening was beautifully enriched by a musical interlude from violinist Melissa Antoinette, followed by internationally acclaimed soprano Ms Véronique Zuel, accompanied by Ms Katerina Sevastaki, in a moving performance on the theme "A Woman's Trip."

Because lasting change happens when we lead together.

When Leadership meets Purpose.

We are deeply grateful to Business Magazine for featuring the 10th Anniversary of the KIP Leading Women Programme in Mauritius and helping amplify the conversation on inclusive leadership.

Our programme goes far beyond leadership training. Built on a decade of design on gender expertise locally, we bring in the room amazing speakers, strong international partnership with GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science), while challenging perspectives and shaping authentic leadership.

We believe leadership is not built in a classroom alone. It is forged through meaningful conversations, courageous reflection, powerful networks and a commitment to creating more inclusive organisations by design.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this decade of impact. The journey continues!

KIP Leading Women 2026 | From Women on Boards to Inclusive Organisations

As part of the 10th Anniversary of the KIP Leading Women Programme, we were honoured to welcome Ms Heba Capdevila-Jangeerkhan Group CEO of Medine, Mr Gervais Gua, Officer in Charge and Executive Director, SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd and Ms Shamima Mallam Hassam, Managing Director of Trident Trust Mauritius for an inspiring CEO Panel.

One message resonated throughout the discussion: inclusive organisations are built by design. Moving beyond the numbers means intentionally creating cultures where diverse talent is developed, every voice is valued, and leaders foster trust, belonging and opportunity. This is how organisations unlock innovation, strengthen performance and create lasting impact.

KIP Leading Women Programme - Why Role Models Matter.

One of the most powerful ways to build the new pipeline of leaders is through role models. When women share their stories with authenticity, they inspire others to believe that leadership is possible.
We were privileged to welcome three outstanding KIP Leading Women alumni who generously shared their personal journeys with our 2026 cohort: Rozina Abia Annabelle Dupont Pratima Nundoosingh

Their experiences reminded us that leadership is not about having a perfect path, it is about embracing challenges, staying true to your values and lifting others along the way. They talked about the importance of surrounding ourselves with a trusted circle of mentors and peers who challenge us, support us and help us make better decisions. Resilience is rarely built alone.

Thank you for inspiring our participants and for continuing to embody the spirit of the KIP Leading Women community: learning, growing and paying it forward.
