SWiTCH MEA
The Senior Women in Transformation (SWiTCH) MEA community unites women leaders who are driving organisational change and transformation across the Middle East and Africa. We empower women to achieve their full potential in transformation leadership.
Despite women's proven excellence in leadership capabilities, there remains a significant gender imbalance in transformation leadership in the MEA region. SWiTCH MEA is changing this narrative by creating a powerful community of female change-makers.
