Women In Strategy

Uniting female leaders across all business sectors.

Level5 launched the Women in Strategy initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it has grown into one of our most important annual platforms, featuring executive panels, young professional gatherings, and women entrepreneur workshops.

Our goal is to create a platform that bridges the gap between potential and opportunity for women in strategic roles, promoting their strategic impact. This initiative highlights real stories and recognition of achievements through meaningful engagement and facilitates authentic conversations to support, empower, and inspire fellow Women in Strategy.
