At Page Executive, we are proud to have contributed to a powerful and necessary conversation on the intersection of motherhood and professional ambition.
On February 10th, ESADE Alumni Women Empowerment Club, Juno House and Mom’s in Co hosted the session “Motherhood & Career: How to Navigate Between Ambition and Care”, bringing together leaders committed to driving meaningful change within organisations.
Cristina Ródenas, Senior Partner at Page Executive Spain, joined the panel to share her perspective on how motherhood influences career trajectories and the organisational levers required to support, retain, and accelerate female talent.
The discussion underscored a critical truth: while progress continues and access to leadership roles for women is growing, motherhood remains a defining moment in a woman's career—one that is often under supported, insufficiently visible, and shaped by persistent biases. These barriers frequently lead to a silent leakage of female talent, with direct consequences for both women and business performance.
The session aimed to bring visibility, data and practical tools to help companies, universities, and women themselves reimagine career pathways. With 100% attendance and an exceptional NPS score of 92, it stands as one of the most successful recent gatherings addressing this vital topic.
The panel brought together an inspiring group of leaders:
- Cristina Ródenas, Senior Partner, Page Executive
- Eugenia Bieto, first and former General Manager at ESADE
- Anna Boldú, Co‑founder & CEO, Platanomelón
- Laura Sagnier, researcher and leading speaker on women’s challenges, with a focus on motherhood and career
The discussion was moderated by Agustina Palmieri, Co‑founder & CEO of Mom’s in Co.
At Page Executive, we remain committed to elevating conversations that help shape more inclusive leadership models and support women at every stage of their professional journey.
