In conjunction with the digital ceremony, Cartier hosts a series of virtual gathering on the theme of the Ripple Effect.

Cartier announces the laureates of the 2021 edition of the Cartier Women&rsquo;s Initiative through a digital ceremony, which consist of a three-day virtual gathering on the theme of the&nbsp;Ripple Effect.&nbsp;

Hosted by Cyrille Vigneron, Cartier President and CEO, this year&rsquo;s CWI program carries on its mission to empower and sustain the sparks ignited by these women groundbreakers and game-changers.&nbsp;The annual event once again brings together a diverse group of global pioneers from different spheres - including entrepreneur and author Jacqueline Novogratz, award-winning journalist, author, and founder of Shriver Media and The Women&rsquo;s Alzheimer&rsquo;s Movement Maria Shriver or scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb to muses of Cartier such as actor, producer and change agent Yara Shahidi - to sit down and exchange views on the challenges of our time and how by providing opportunities can foster the community and empower one another.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&ldquo;For the past fifteen years, the Cartier Women&rsquo;s Initiative has celebrated women impact entrepreneurs. It has long been our belief that to thrive, they need an enabling environment, a supportive ecosystem and an empowering culture. During the Virtual Gathering, like-minded individuals and organizations from all horizons have joined us to explore how we can collectively uplift these outstanding change-makers. We look to the future with confidence by their side, as we witness them building up a tide of change, thus making the world a better place for generations to come.&rdquo;&nbsp;

&nbsp;
