Leadership: Empowering Women for Executive Roles

Women are significantly under-represented in decision-making in Georgia. More diversity through female voices at every level of leadership will deliver better decisions and more equitable outcomes for Georgia.

GEC aims to achieve greater gender balance through:

• Female leaders – to enhance career opportunities for managers to senior level executives aiming for a role in the C-suite
• Organisation leaders – to drive the advancement of women and develop best practice gender action plans

Below are 2 key Leadership Programs GEC currently operates to deliver our mission and grow the number of women in senior executive roles.

The GEC Leaders Program

A bespoke leadership program developed to inspire and equip women to fulfil their leadership potential. The program provides women with the skills to take their place alongside men so that organisations deliver the best possible outcome for customers, shareholders and the community.

GEC Connect

A community of women leaders that are either a GEC scholars or a graduate of the GEC Leaders Program.

These women leaders come together through live events, social platforms and an online community,to build relationships with some of Georgia’s most senior women leaders: GEC members.

Expanding Networks and Impact

At GEC, we recognize that leadership doesn’t end with skills—it thrives through solid networks and mentorship. We offer mentorship opportunities to support women in executive roles, connecting rising leaders with experienced professionals. This program enables women to gain valuable insights and guidance as they navigate their careers. Additionally, GEC organizes leadership workshops and seminars that foster continuous learning and personal growth. By participating in these events, women can stay at the forefront of leadership trends, sharpen their expertise, and expand their influence in Georgia and beyond.
