“WiBE is not only about career growth; it’s about finding a sense of belonging and solidarity that keeps you grounded and whole as a leader.”
-Lisa Leander, Founder & CEO
In the last two decades, I’ve collaborated with hundreds of business schools across twenty-two countries. From writing strategic plans and developing new programs to establishing partnerships, I’ve met the most amazing people.
I wanted to bring together these trailblazing, brilliant, clever, rock star, and courageous leaders to lead smarter and innovate faster.
It is time to reimagine leadership and redefine success for the future of business education.
But WiBE is so much more than a global network.
WiBE was designed to help you succeed by providing top-notch resources & speakers, valuable mentorship, and a supportive community that’s always in your corner.
By joining WiBE I want you to gain access to a wealth of knowledge and experience, and connect with a fantastic group of b-school professionals around the world who share your drive and passion.
We want you to be uplifted, motivated, and ready to achieve your fullest potential.
I can’t wait to meet you inside the membership community.
