Rise and Lead Women

Since its launch in 2018, Rise and Lead Women has been on a global mission to help women across different industries fulfil their leadership aspirations. We are a non-profit organization that aims to create a future where equality and diversity rule the world. By offering resources and support and fostering connections to women, we inspire women to lead fearlessly.

Gender diversity has been a central topic of discussion for years, but progress has been slow. Several studies have shown that companies with at least 30% of women in leadership roles are 12 times more likely to excel financially (DDI).

Yet only 29% of women make up senior leadership roles globally. How do we bridge the gender leadership gap?

To ensure women from across the globe have equal access to professional opportunities, feel empowered to reach their full potential, and become leaders that help drive positive, sustainable change in the world, Rise & Lead Women offers resources to women for both personal and professional development to enable them to become leaders, thus accelerating gender-balanced leadership within this community.

We aim to increase the number of high-achieving women in executive leadership roles. We help organisations advance gender-balanced leadership and inclusion in the workplace by sharing cross-industry insights. 

Our approach is based on research that shows that individual empowerment and systemic change are necessary to close the gender gap in leadership. 

We can significantly impact this critical issue by empowering women with the skills and knowledge to succeed and partnering with businesses to create more inclusive cultures.
