What We Offer
WAE works with two audiences: organizations seeking to advance gender equity internally, and individuals seeking structured support to advance their own careers.
Speaking Engagements & Executive Briefings
WAE speakers address the structural drivers of underrepresentation in leadership, the organizational case for gender equity, and frameworks for building sustainable leadership pathways for women within companies.
DEI & Gender Equity Advisory
We work with HR, DEI, and executive leadership teams to assess representation gaps and design interventions (sponsorship structures, promotion criteria review, mentorship and coaching infrastructure) grounded in organizational data rather than generic diversity programming.
Custom Workshops
Tailored sessions for leadership teams and employee resource groups on navigating gender dynamics in decision-making, distinguishing sponsorship from mentorship, and building equitable advancement criteria.
For Organizations
We partner with companies, associations, and institutions to bring research-informed perspectives on gender equity and women's leadership directly into their workplaces.

Policy
& Institutional Partnership
WAE engages with multilateral institutions, governments, and research bodies to advance evidence-based policy on gender equity in leadership. Through convenings, working groups, and advisory contributions, we examine which interventions produce measurable outcomes for women's advancement — and which do not — across labor markets, sectors, and public policy contexts.
We welcome invitations from institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, European Union bodies, and national parliaments to contribute research, testimony, or advisory input on policy affecting women's advancement in the workforce and in leadership.
