Francisco Opening Summit
Liberty Interactive Corporation ("Liberty Interactive") (Nasdaq:
QVCA, QVCB, LVNTA, LVNTB) today announced the 2015-2016 Women's
eCommerce Network (“WeCN”), a unique program that pairs established
women business leaders and executives (the Council) with early
stage eCommerce, media and technology entrepreneurs (the Class) for
a six-month mentorship period.
The 2015-2016 program commences with an Opening Summit in San
Francisco, where each Class member is paired with two Council
members who will guide her through a targeted, business-enhancing
project. The six month mentorship period culminates in April with a
Closing Summit hosted by Liberty Interactive.
WeCN provides exposure to best practices and emerging trends, as
well as networking opportunities with the broader Council through
the Summits and an established Alumnae network. The objective of
WeCN is to establish business relationships that will increase the
likelihood of long-term business success and create a supportive
foundation for the next generation of women business leaders and
executives.
“We have enjoyed growing the WeCN program since we began
supporting it in 2011,” said Greg Maffei, Liberty Interactive
President and CEO. “Now in its fifth year, we are expanding the
program beyond its roots in eCommerce, bringing in highly talented
entrepreneurs from media and technology as well. We are impressed
by the commitment of the women in this network of outstanding
executives. The network broadens each year, and includes women who
have not participated as formal Council or Class members.”
The 2015-2016 WeCN Council is comprised of distinguished
business leaders, entrepreneurs and investors from leading brands
and companies. Many served as mentors in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014,
and are returning again for the fifth year. The Council members
are:
- Susan Feldman, Co-Founder & Chief
Merchandising Officer, One Kings Lane

Beauty; Founding Partner, Concept to Co.

Overseeing year five of the program are executives from Liberty
Interactive, including Andrea Wong, Liberty Board Member and

Entertainment; Robin Pringle, VP, Liberty Interactive; and Courtnee
Ulrich, VP, Liberty Interactive.
Andrea Wong commented, “WeCN’s mentorship program is a
structured way for established female leaders to help up-and-coming
women entrepreneurs develop their early-stage businesses. As we
begin our fifth successful year, the bonds formed between these
women are so strong that the conversation and mentorship between
them continues well beyond the six-month duration of the mentorship
program.”

in San Francisco. The day’s agenda includes roundtable discussions
and panels on relevant themes such as building a strong team and
