A virtuous cycle for gender equality
What to Expect from Women for CEO
A clear goal
Women for CEO aims to achieve gender parity in leadership positions by 2035.
Our movement is driven by leaders—both women and men—who are convinced that professional equality is a driver of sustainable performance. No empty rhetoric, just concrete actions and a clear path forward.
A model designed to be inclusive
You don’t join Women for CEO on your own: you join as a gender-balanced pair, because change happens when we work together. Our community is built on mutual support, shared commitment, and a common desire to change the rules of the game.
A structured approach
Our “3 Steps / 9 Building Blocks” roadmap guides our collective action. It is driven by active working groups, cohorts of leaders, and a scientific committee that ensures the measurable impact of each initiative.
A vibrant movement
Women for CEO is not a static program. It is a self-sustaining, demanding, and inspiring ecosystem, open to anyone who wants to work toward governance and leadership that is more equitable, inclusive, efficient, and resolutely forward-looking.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
What is Women for CEO?
Women for CEO is a collective, gender-balanced, and independent movement dedicated to achieving gender parity in the leadership bodies of organizations by 2035.
We bring together leaders, managers, and decision-makers from all sectors who are committed to bringing about tangible change in governance, management practices, and perceptions of power.
Why gender parity by 2035?
Because at the current rate, it would take more than 80 years to achieve true gender parity in leadership positions.
We refuse to accept this stagnation. Gender parity is neither a dream nor an option: it is a strategic imperative for businesses and a critical economic and societal issue.
