2026 Breaking Through: The Unspoken Challenges of Women in Leadership

Women have made tremendous strides in leadership, yet many continue to encounter unique challenges as they advance into executive roles. From overcoming unconscious bias and navigating double standards to balancing authenticity with executive presence, the path to the top often looks different for women than it does for their male counterparts.

Presented by ACG National Capital's Women's Impact Network (WIN) and proudly sponsored by CrossCountry Consulting, this panel is the first installment of a three-part leadership series designed to empower, connect, and elevate women across the middle-market community.

Join us on December 2, 2026, for an engaging discussion featuring three accomplished women leaders:

• Jennifer Wall, Managing Director, The Carlyle Group

• Peggy Styer, Managing Partner, Razor's Edge Ventures

• Tamara Jack, Chief Financial Officer, LMI 

Jennifer , Peggy, and Tamara will share their personal experiences, practical insights, and strategies for overcoming challenges, breaking barriers, and leading with confidence. Through candid conversation and real-world perspectives, attendees will gain valuable takeaways for navigating their own leadership journeys.

The series will continue with additional panels in Spring and Summer 2027, offering fresh perspectives and continued opportunities for meaningful connection, collaboration, and professional growth.
