Last year for Mother’s Day New York Magazine interviewed 11 kids about what it’s like to have a mom who is also a boss. Sophie Lefebure, daughter of Pum Lefebure, co-founder and chief creative officer of Washington D.C.-based Design Army, was among the children interviewed. Her answers inspired Goodby Silverstein & Partners chief creative officer Margaret Johnson to create a panel that will cover the perspective of girls and what they think of powerful women in advertising.

“It was so interesting to read Pum’s daughter describing what her mom’s job was like,” said Johnson.
