The Athena Alliance is a community that propels leaders to build impact, whether it’s in the C-suite, in the boardroom, as an investor, as an entrepreneur, as a thought leader and beyond.

leadership excellence for executives
GOVERN

As a board member, you bring your experience into play in a new way—as a trusted advisor, thought partner, and fiduciary. At Athena, we guide you to secure the right connections and board opportunities and keep your expertise current through our live and on-demand learning. Athena has directly supported over 450 women to join boards. That’s more than any other organization can claim on a number of candidates to opportunity ratio!

LEAD

You create impact through your team in this fast-paced world. From Senior Director to CEO, Athena offers the right community, learning, and expert guidance to help you shape your leadership and advancement. We’ve helped over 2,000 women elevate their careers in and to the C-suite.

INSPIRE

You’ve gained a breadth of experience and are ready to stand on a bigger stage: write a book, start a podcast, teach at the local university, advise startups, or build a consultancy. How will you share your wisdom and influence?

INVEST

As an investor, you have the opportunity to shape the future of products and the companies that bring them to market, while building wealth. Being an intentional investor requires learning about wealth creation, angel investing, and building a portfolio. Gain the support, network, wisdom, and access you need with Athena.

CREATE

Starting with an idea, building a plan, getting traction, and looking to scale. Entrepreneurs can have the ultimate impact, but also need support on the journey to turn vision to reality. At Athena they find the toolkit, the connections and support structure to make it happen.

Athena members are typically in or close to the Boardroom and the C-suite. This includes experienced board directors, CEOs, executives, as well as investors engaging with CEOs and boards, entrepreneurs building companies to scale, former executives in their Third Act, and individuals making their way to the C-suite.

This can vary by company size and stage, so we look at members holistically and invite you to reach out to us if you’re unsure whether you’re a fit.
