The Pipeline helps large organisations build the business case for gender balance and ethnicity. We use data-driven insights to shape diversity and inclusion strategies and deliver leadership development programmes proven to advance and retain more women. Founded by Lorna Fitzsimons, former CEO of the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM), and Margaret McDonagh, a former Non-Executive Director of TBI Plc and Standard Life, The Pipeline’s team understands the barriers women face and how to overcome them. The Pipeline’s programmes are designed to overcome the weakest points in a company’s organisational structure. By addressing areas where corporates are most likely to lose their female talent, The Pipeline rapidly improves the return on investment in female staff for participating organisations.
