Want to know more?
IESE Business School strives to develop leaders who will have a positive impact on people, companies, and societies. We know women leaders have unique values but often face barriers. We want to help women win because we believe that in diverse inclusive cultures where everybody is able to thrive, companies and society wins.
In 2023, the annual Future Female Leaders Award was launched to recognize young professional women who embody IESE’s mission, with the objective of empowering them to realize their potential. The goal of this award is to support talented, ambitious women who aspire to invest in their personal and profesional development by providing them with a unique learning experience.
Awardees will gather on IESE’s Barcelona campus for a three day event with other like-minded women to gain knowledge on women in business, grow their network and be part of IESE’s global community of female leaders.
Are you a young professional woman with big accomplishments and even bigger goals?
"Although the event lasted only three days, its impact on me was profound. Particularly, the networking sessions provided ample opportunities to connect with other attendees, exchange opinions, and obtain valuable insights from this incredible event, thus enhancing the overall learning experience. I also want to emphasize the fantastic atmosphere fostered by the IESE admission team and WIB members, which made us feel comfortable and encouraged deeper conversations."
