Before launching WITSEND, our group had been meeting informally for a while to talk honestly about leadership - the ambition, the pressure, and the reality of it all. We found those sessions to be immensely productive, although they weren’t necessarily designed to be.

Being able to pick the brains of women in similar roles, on matters of work and life, was a joy and a relief.

So we set up WITSEND in 2017 - Women In Tech, Senior Execs and Non-exec Directors - to grow our network of women of leadership and to empower more women to reach their potential.
