Opening Summit
Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty Interactive") (Nasdaq:
LINTA, LINTB, LVNTA, LVNTB) today announced the 2015 Women's
eCommerce Network (“WeCN”), a unique program that pairs established
women business leaders and executives (the Council) with five early
stage eCommerce companies (the Class) for a six month mentorship
period.
The 2015 program commences with an Opening Summit in San
Francisco, where each Class member is paired with two Council
members who will counsel her through a targeted, business-enhancing
project. The six month mentorship period then culminates in April
with a Closing Summit hosted by Liberty Interactive.
The WeCN provides exposure to best practices and emerging
trends, as well as networking opportunities with the broader
Council through the Summits and an established Alumni network. The
objective of the WeCN is to establish business relationships that
will enhance the opportunities for long-term business success and
create a foundation for support that ensures the next generation of
women business leaders and executives.
“We are pleased with how the WeCN program has grown since we
began supporting it in 2011,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive
President and CEO. “Now in its fourth year, I am impressed by the
continued involvement of everyone in this strong network of female
eCommerce executives. Conversation and mentorship has continued
well beyond the six-month duration of the program and has broadened
to include women who have not participated as formal Council or
Class members.”
The WeCN 2015 Council is comprised of distinguished business
leaders, entrepreneurs and investors from leading brands and
companies. Many served as mentors in 2011, 2012 and 2013, and are
returning again for the fourth year. The Council members are:
