Together, we will offer development and educational initiatives that empower women to build successful careers and champion inclusive leadership. We are eager to work together towards a more equitable future,” said Biljana Braithwaite, Chair of Women on Boards Adria.

Co-Founders and Co-Presidents of WOB Ukraine Nina Dombrowska, Tatiana Furtseva and Olena Malynska are proud that this partnership is established. “In today’s world, mutual support between countries is a crucial factor in overcoming shared challenges.

Together we can join efforts for the growth of women’s leadership, strengthening our organizations and the economies of both regions while fostering a more inclusive business environment.” said Nina Dombrowska who led the partnership discussions for WOB Ukraine.
