Spotlight on Cross-Generational Collaboration

“Bridging generational gaps fosters innovation, growth, and success.” – Penny Belluz.

 

Our Director of Operations, Penny Belluz, recently participated in the Cross-Generational Collaboration panel at the ASIS Toronto Women in Security Conference. This engaging discussion highlighted the value of inclusivity, respect, and collaboration in managing and leading multigenerational teams.

We’re proud to have been part of such an empowering event!
