ABOUT W-SUITE
The persistence of inequality between men and women in the 21st century remains a key point of discussion. Despite advances in working towards gender parity and progress particularly in business, gender diversity at the top echelons of business and government remains regrettably low. Over the years, research has shown that full inclusion of women executives improves a company’s financial performance. Yet the scarcity of female executives and general representation of women in the C-suite is stagnating.
-
Our aim is to spark conversation, advocacy and action towards shifting the balance of power to the top and is a platform towards bringing more women in key leadership and operational roles across the C–Suite, organisations, governments and markets.
-
Our vision is to make room for women at the table by driving the acceleration of women leaders in position of power and influence and to co-create a new culture of power and influence that is inclusive and drives meaningful participation of women in the development of thriving communities, strong female economy and a great nation.

Taking the lead and making the shift starts with re-imagining the vocabulary of power, leadership and opportunities.
