The ZB Agency Conference Returns to NYC

By: Jewel Benton

Zoe Bogan's journey to empowering women began during her 13-year tenure at KPMG, one of the Big Four global accounting and professional services firms. While there, she developed programs and activities designed to help women advance in their corporate careers. That experience inspired her to launch her own professional development company, ZB Agency, which will host its third annual conference on Thursday, Nov. 12, in New York City.

"I focused on revenue because I knew if we teach more of our women how to generate revenue and sell, we can create more female partners," Bogan told Pulse during a Zoom interview.

At a time when women's representation in corporate leadership remains disproportionately low, Bogan hopes to see women account for 50% of partners at consulting and law firms, with Black women making up 25% of those positions.

"They have the capability, but I want them to embrace that," she said.

The ZB Agency Conference will feature a lineup of speakers, including Linda Clemens, a body language and sales expert. The event will also offer breakfast, lunch, complimentary professional headshots and networking opportunities for nearly 200 attendees.
