Many Ulysses participants are high-performing women. The programme is a key part of PwC's
commitment to retaining and developing female talent into positions of leadership, an
initiative which is led globally by the Gender Advisory Council.
The two programmes are closely connected: Global CEO Sam DiPiazza also serves on the
Global Private Sector Leaders Advisory Council for the World Bank Group's Gender
Action Plan, which sponsored a 2008 Ulysses project in Tanzania. Also, several
Ulysses participants have contributed to the Gender Advisory Council's thought leadership
blog, The Gender
