Who We Are

Leading Ladies is a members-only network connecting founders, CEOs, investors, and board members across diverse industries.

More than just a business club, we represent a community defined by genuine camaraderie. Our members share the philosophy that success is amplified when women actively champion and uplift one another. Leading Ladies was founded on one belief: the most powerful room is the one where every woman in it is already a force.

Within this trusted circle, our members exchange candid insights, build meaningful connections, and participate in thoughtfully curated experiences.

Meet a selection of our Leading Ladies

“Like a diamond, a woman’s strength is revealed under pressure — unbreakable, luminous, eternal.”

H.R.H. Princess Annemarie of Bourbon-Parma
Leadership & Communication - Boardroom advisor

“When a woman steps into her power and claims her freedom, she not only lights and clears the path for those who follow, but she also honors the women who came before her.”

Britta van Egmond
Owner & architect van Egmond, architecten

“As a woman in architecture, I embody how beauty and strength go hand in hand, and how vulnerability is not weakness but a source of connection.”

Marie-Louise Bots

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”

“Leadership is the art of giving dreams wings and a horizon to fly toward.”

Hélène Hoogeboom

“Individuality, authenticity, love, creativity, sense of style, statement…
Even a small piece of jewellery can tell an impressive story about the woman wearing it.”

“You can only make a first impression once. The key is to be the best version of your genuine self - present, respectful, confident, and intentional in how you come across.”

Angelique Keijsers

“To lead is to be bold enough to be yourself, brave enough to choose happiness, and generous enough to show others the way.”
