Global Women-Owned Business Directory

A Curated Platform for Women-Led Excellence

What It Is 

The Global Women-Owned Business Directory is a curated, credibility-driven platform within the Global Women in Leadership Alliance™ (GWLA) designed to elevate, promote, and economically empower businesses owned and led by women.

This is not a generic business directory.

It is a trusted platform where women leaders, executives, founders, investors, and decision-makers can find, support, collaborate with, and refer business to women-owned enterprises globally.

By listing their business, women entrepreneurs gain visibility, credibility, and direct access to a high-caliber leadership community that values women supporting women through real economic exchange, not just conversation.

 Who the Directory Is For

  • Women-owned and women-led businesses

  • Professional service firms, product-based businesses, consultants, creatives, and founders

  • Businesses that meet professional, ethical, and leadership standards

  • Companies seeking corporate, executive, and B2B exposure, not bargain shoppers

 Core Value Proposition (Why You Want Your Business In)

Visibility + Credibility + Access + Opportunity

Women don’t need another listing.
They need the right audience, trusted positioning, and real opportunities.

About the Partnership

The Global Women-Owned Business Partnership Directory is a curated resource within the Global Women in Leadership Alliance™ (GWLA) designed to elevate, connect, and economically empower women-owned and women-led businesses worldwide.

This directory exists to ensure that leadership translates into opportunity.

It brings together women founders, executives, and entrepreneurs whose businesses meet professional, ethical, and leadership standards, and connects them with a global network that values intentional collaboration, credibility, and women supporting women through real economic engagement.

This is not a public marketplace and not a volume-based listing platform.
It is a leadership-aligned directory, built on trust, visibility, and shared values.

Why This Directory Matters

Women in leadership influence decisions.
Women-owned businesses create economic impact.

This directory bridges the two — making it easier for leaders, organizations, and fellow members to identify, engage, and support women-owned businesses with confidence.

By listing in the directory, businesses are positioned not only as service providers, but as contributors to a global women-led economy.
