About us
Welcome to Initiative Women in Leadership (IWiL), your partner for the empowerment and growth of female leadership talent. Founded by Sabine Hansen and Dr. Natalie Daghles, IWiL offers a comprehensive and dynamic program to develop women who are ready to advance into top management positions.
Our mission is clear: We want to see more women in leadership positions and are working hard to achieve that goal. With a strong network of mentors, we support nearly 200 female talents on their way to the top. We are proud that 60% of our mentees have made significant career strides, many within just a few years of starting their mentoring at IWiL.
Our network includes impressive leaders such as Annette Grabbe, CEO of Rheinbahn, Dr. Lena Lindemann, Chief Human Resources Officer at Ergo Versicherungen, and Christina Sontheim-Leven of CEWE, all of whom have been helped in their careers by IWiL.
We invite you to learn more about our work, our network and our success stories. Become part of IWiL too and actively shape your future as a female leader. Together we can change the landscape of corporate leadership and pave the way for more women to reach the top
