History
The Women's Forum for the Economy and Society was established in 2005 by Aude de Thuin with the support of a group of influential French women, including Véronique Morali, Anne Lauvergeon, Laurence Parisot and Dominique Hériad Dubreuil. Their goal was to bring opinion leaders together to debate ways to enhance women's contribution to the global economy and society. To date the Women's Forum has organized eight Global Meetings, as well as a number of smaller forums in China, Brazil and Spain.
Publicis Groupe, the world's third-largest communications group, acquired a majority stake in the Women's Forum in September 2009. In January 2011, Véronique Morali became President of the Women's Forum. Jacqueline Franjou has served as the Forum’s CEO since January 2011.
