Energy management and automation entity Schneider Electric says it is delighted to announce that its Vice President Digital Buildings, Louise Monger, has been selected as a Member of the esteemed Chief Executive Women (CEW).

The company regards Monger’s membership as recognition of her contributions to the electrical industry. Monger will work alongside 1,000 influential women who hold leading roles in a number of public and private organisations.

“It’s important to continue the discussion around gender diversity and empowering women to challenge themselves in the workforce. I am delighted to be invited to join a credible organisation such as CEW, where I will have the opportunity to assist in advancing gender equality in the workplace,” Monger says.

CEW represents prominent and influential women leaders from the corporate, public service, academic, and not-for-profit sectors. Each member has a shared vision of “Women Leaders Enabling Women Leaders” and works directly with CEW to create awareness of women’s business capabilities.

Joining Schneider in 2020, Monger’s role as Vice President Digital Buildings sees her oversee a team of 350 people who are responsible for energy management and automation solutions for the built environment. 

The company regards her as an established thought leader in the property technology industry and is regularly sought out to share her career experience. She is also a change agent through her important role of Deputy Chair for Schneider’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council.

“We are proud to see Louise being recognised for her continuous leadership efforts and congratulate her on being offered a membership at CEW,” says Schneider Electric’s Pacific Zone President, Gareth O’Reilly.

“She has made an incredible impact on her team and customers at Schneider Electric, and we are excited to see her share her passion and knowledge with such an impressive group of female leaders.”

Within the CEW, Monger will play a key role in helping to remove the barriers to women’s economic participation and support equal opportunity through a range of advocacy, research, targeted programs, and scholarships.
