PWN Geneva-Lausanne is the 26th chapter of the vibrant and dynamic global Federation “Professional Women’s Network” which was initially founded in Paris in 2003 and has since expanded across Europe, South America, and the Middle East.  The global objective of the PWN across cities is to provide women with the tools, network and support resources they need to successfully assume leadership positions in business.  At PWN Geneva-Lausanne, we aim to share knowledge across our network, notably through our participation in European, American, and global initiatives.  

On an international scale the PWN combines a sophisticated on-line networking platform (linking thousands of business women and men to our communities), with global social media activities; our local programs offer more than 600 local events for our members each year.

Who are our members?

PWN Geneva-Lausanne represents a group of inspired, talented, energetic, working women (including more than 12 nationalities), who are passionate about seizing the very best professional and personal opportunities available.   We aim to learn from one another in order to maximise our recognised potential and impact.  Our members are senior-level, international business women and men, working in corporations, in the public sector or as entrepreneurs developing their own companies.

What is the unique position held by PWN Geneva-Lausanne in the economic and social landscape?

PWN Geneva-Lausanne is a professional network structured to promote business and professional development; we welcome women and men believing that change can only arise through us working together hand in hand.

PWN Geneva-Lausanne is part of an international network; this global approach is a key success factor in the current business environment, this aspect is essential for the careers of our multilingual and multicultural members. 

We select our members based on their achievements (not limiting the selection criteria by other members' recommendations); we are pleased to reach out to many international professionals relocating here, often with no previous connections in the area.

At PWN Geneva-Lausanne we bring cutting-edge research results and education to our members. In doing so, we leverage the synergy of our global partner Mercer (a leading HR consultancy), as well as the exclusive knowledge-base of tools, best practices and programs of our Federation 

PWN Geneva-Lausanne is focused on action, not on talk; we aim to advance Diversity and Inclusion by working in partnership with companies and employers towards this goal.
