“Global Press Institute is leaning in because we believe women are the future of international journalism,” says Global Press Institute founder and executive director Cristi Hegranes.
GPI became an offical Lean In partner this week, joining other global corporations in changing the conversation about women and work.
Co-founded by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In is a network that encourages women to pursue their ambitions in the workplace. “We are committed to offering women the ongoing inspriration and support to help them achieve their goals,” wrote Sandberg on the Lean In.org website. “If we talk openly about the challenges women face and work together, we can change the trajectory of women and create a better work for everyone.”
Hegranes’ Lean In story was featured last month. (Read it here.)
Hegranes founded GPI seven years ago at the age of 25. In the years since it has become an award-winning, world renowned platform for global news. GPI trains and employs more than 130 women across 26 developing countries.
