Happy International Womens’ Day! This year, the theme for IWD is #BreakTheBias, where we strive to celebrate the achievements of women, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. At Mail Manager, we’re pleased to have been working with a number of women over the last few years, platforming their voices in the industry to add value. In this blog, we've put together some recent highlights:
