What our Graduates Say

The Academy plays a critical role in bridging the gap between aspiration and readiness for women leaders. For me, it transformed the idea of becoming a CEO from a “someday” aspiration into a tangible, actionable step - supported by knowledge, peer learning, and a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed

Olga Sigal
Without the CEO Academy I wouldn't even think about taking on such roles. It was an amazing and necessary program to give women the confidence and practical tools to lead in startups

Nurit Raccah
Give confidence, build network, strengthen tool kit
