Shan Foods co-chairwoman Sammer Sultan has become the first woman from Pakistan to join the Champions of Change Coalition. This Sydney-based, members-only program connects over 250 C-suite professionals worldwide.

“The enormity of this membership humbles me. Being the first woman from Pakistan to join the Coalition, I feel it is my foremost responsibility to live up to this role by furthering my initiatives and creating more female leaders within the workspaces in Pakistan,” said Sammer Sultan while sharing her thoughts on her latest achievement.

A staunch advocate of gender equality and inclusivity, Sammer has often been at the forefront of several CSR initiatives aimed at sustainable women empowerment approaches. From equal access to education and healthcare to environmental justice, her efforts and partnerships at personal and organizational levels have helped several factions of women across society, gaining her a place at the table at one of the world’s most prestigious coalitions working towards bringing positive change for women in the workspace.

“Sammer’s addition to the Champions’ list marks a well-deserved milestone on behalf of the women workforce of Pakistan and signifies the beginning of a new era of workplace inclusion for women in the country”, said Fiza Farhan, Convener at the Coalition.

Formerly known as the Male Champions of Change Coalition, the Champions of Change Coalition provides leadership platforms to debate, discuss, and resolve modern-day issues faced by marginalized communities and helps members bring about positive top-down change across the global corporate landscape.
