Be Part of Something Bigger – Empowering Women in Procurement

BRAVO is a first of its kind network that enables female leaders to get ahead and conquer the inequalities and disadvantages facing women everywhere.

Procurious, the world’s leading online business network for supply chain and procurement professionals, today announced the launch of its BRAVO Leadership Program for Women in Procurement and Supply Chain. This global leadership training program, which was built exclusively to help females advance their careers and make a positive impact in the world, offers members practical guidance, real-world coaching and an unrivaled network of peers.

The theme for this year’s program is “Be Part of Something Bigger,” to empower women to be bigger, bolder, take charge of their careers and fulfill their true potential.

The inaugural BRAVO program launched in Australia in 2021 with 417 members, 56 companies, 11 events and 45 speakers. This year, Procurious is expanding BRAVO globally by running the program in APAC, EMEA and the USA concurrently.  

“Last year’s BRAVO program was hugely successful, which is why we are so pleased to be launching the program in two new markets this year,” said Tania Seary, founding chairman and CEO of Procurious. “Our goal is to provide members with practical training and a community of like-minded women so they can unlock their full potential, advance their careers, shape a better future and create a positive impact on a global scale.”

Throughout the course of the year, BRAVO members will benefit from:

• Launch Event | APAC/USA/EMEA: April

A 90-minute virtual event featuring some of today’s most inspirational women from around the world, covering topics of Gender Equality and Diversity in the Workplace. 

•  Flagship Event | APAC: August | USA/EMEA: September

An exciting half-day virtual event bringing together some of the most successful female leaders both inside and outside of procurement to talk openly and honestly about the issues that matter the most to women. Sessions include critical topics such as pay negotiation simulations, how to overcome bias and more.

Members will strengthen both hard and soft management skills as they hear from global  thought leaders in the field.
