Global digital platform SheKnows has officially launched with a focus on supporting senior women leaders globally to bring gender equity and drive influence at the highest levels of business and decision-making.
The launch comes as organisations across the world, especially in Africa, face increasing pressure to strengthen governance, accelerate transformation, and navigate economic uncertainty, while the need for more diverse and representative leadership has never been greater.
SheKnows positions itself beyond traditional “women empowerment” or “mentorship” initiatives in line with its mission to create real opportunities for women to move confidently through pivotal moments in their careers.
Anchored on offering real-world experience from global leaders who’ve walked the path, the initiative is designed as a digital platform for intelligence, influence, and decision-making, tailored for senior leaders operating in complex, high-growth environments.
“Leadership today is not just about having a seat at the table; it is about shaping the decisions that define industries and economies,” says Amnah Ajmal, founder and CEO of SheKnows.
“SheKnows is built for women already in senior leadership roles but are at a career defining moment like returning from maternity leave or too many years in the same role. By connecting them with global leaders through private 1-1 sessions we enable them to move more confidently through life’s most defining career transitions.”
The platform provides guided growth pathways, supported by curated Growth Navigators and enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), enabling them to turn uncertainty into clarity, hesitation into action, and potential into progress.
The Growth Navigators are global leaders in the highest circles of influence who have walked the path, both women and men, who can share real-life experience.
The platform also helps removing geographical barriers as any woman can join the program from any corner of the world connecting to growth navigators who can also sit in any location. Besides the functionality, it also gives access to regions and markets that are maybe less familiar which can open new doors for the participant.
Growth navigators are joining from South Africa, the UAE, Qatar, Malaysia, the U.S., the UK, Poland, Hongkong, Singapore, Turkey, and more.
