Launched in 2010, Toigo Groundbreakers Women’s Initiative focuses the leadership development and connections of women in decision-making environments. Initially centered around the Groundbreakers Annual Women in Leadership Summit, Toigo expanded the platform to include a range of offerings to address specific leadership development opportunities via more in-depth coaching and interactions.
