Meet the Fellows
IWF Leadership Fellows
2026-2027
The 33rd Class of the Leadership Fellows Program brings together 34 highly accomplished women leaders from Argentina, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Jordan, Mexico, South Africa, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and welcomes the program’s first participants from Mongolia, Oman and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Together, they bring broad experience across 14 industries.
This exceptional cohort will participate in an intensive leadership development experience designed to address the key barriers that restrict women’s advancement, accelerating their path to the C-suite and other top levels in sectors where women leaders remain rare.
