About
A SPACE BUILT BY WOMEN, FOR WOMEN
Discussion Box was founded in 2016 by Lisa Carter, mother of three and creator of Nikao, a jewellery brand that was recently featured by Beyoncé and Forbes in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Woman owned and led, Spotlight helps global brands bring together the most powerful women in leadership to spark inclusion-focused relationships that change history. With a unique community rich in women CxO’s, we are the only woman owned business in this industry that is built by women, for women.
Grounded in lived experience, our teams span the globe, are unapologetically woman-led, and are passionate about platforming women and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion from the top down. Spotlight by Discussion Box is a bootstrapped business, built without investment and remains the only woman owned and run business in this industry.

OPENING DOORS TO THE
RIGHT CONVERSATIONS
Women helping other women win.
Despite modest gains in representation over the last 10 years, women are still dramatically underrepresented in leaderships roles and this inequality remains a global issue. Spotlight by Discussion Box is here to change the narrative and challenge the status quo.
We have built the world’s most established community of women CxO’s and can provide better representation, one conversation at a time.

We firmly believe in breaking boundaries, lowering accessibility barriers and holding space for uncommon empathy and integrity. Disruption is in our DNA. It’s not why we’re good, it’s why we’re different!
