Great Hill Partners is a proud sponsor of the Synergist Network, an organization that seeks to connect women in the first decade of their investing careers and provide them with the infrastructure, network, and business acumen that is critical for long-term success. To help support this mission, we recently hosted an Executive Coaching event focused on enhancing executive presence for women professionals. Monica Murphy, a Senior Coaching Partner with the Speech Improvement Company, led the session.

The event provided practical tools and strategies to help women navigate their careers with confidence and clarity. Thank you to all who attended this great event!
