On the newest Luxury Stance Podcast, Luxury Roundtable CEO Mickey ALAM KHAN and Silvetone Consulting president Scott Kerr discuss how the glass ceiling in luxury is not just a metaphor – it is a reality. They talk about the companies that are making progress and what it is going to take for the narrative to shift at a faster pace.
Mickey also takes a deep dive into the Luxury Women's Leadership Summit on June 13, including the key themes of each session and the insights that delegates will gain from listening to the wide range of luxury leaders throughout the day.
