Boston-based WomenLEAD is committed to disrupting and revolutionizing the career mentorship model with an online network and personal advisory board platform, for women by women.
By Partnering with LeanIn, WomenLEAD will be able to make a bigger impact in the world and fulfill its mission: To create and accelerate gender parity in the workplace; to make a positive financial impact on the global economy by establishing a network in which women support women in developing themselves as local to global leaders.
WomenLEAD, CEO and Founder, Ilene Fischer knows what it takes to create leaders. With 20 years in leadership development and organizational change working with management gurus Peter Senge and Tom Peters, she said, “If all of the organizations dedicated to women’s advancement worked together we would collectively accelerate the enormous global impact that women can make. I applaud Sandberg’s ‘LeanIn’ for publicly supporting the advancement of women as leaders, Leaning into their career; and creating a foundation for the success of families, communities and economies.”
