Why We Exist...Why Get Involved?

OUR STORY

PWN Global was born from the willingness of women’s networks to join forces across European countries to advance gender-balanced leadership. We promote the professional progress of wom-en across all sectors and industries. This is how it began, and how it has changed and evolved to become what it is today.
