Started by two working moms who couldn’t find a space (outside of the women’s bathroom) to speak freely about challenges and goals at work.

Having worked together for over 15 years building corporate brands, our desire to create FemmeFactor comes from direct experience as employees, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

As moms to 3 daughters, we are highly motivated to fill the gap in companies serving the needs of mid-career women.

Our Mission

Our vision is to ignite a movement that launches thousands of women into their next chapter of professional growth—by uniting people, insights, and technology. We aim to create a network effect that redefines leadership on women’s terms, showing the world what it looks like to lead with creativity, conviction, and alignment.
