There are more than two billion mothers in the world, yet society often reserves its spotlight for politicians and celebrities. Too little attention is given to those who truly shape our future—the mothers raising the next generation. Mothers as Leaders exists to change that narrative.

We inspire mothers and women to dream bigger, learn continuously, and step confidently into leadership. At the same time, we help organizations recognize and embrace the leadership role parents play, fostering environments where inclusivity and family leadership are valued.

We believe lasting change can only happen when the entire system is addressed—not women alone. That is why we support both: women, by building confidence in their leadership skills, and organizations, by guiding them to create cultures where parenthood and leadership thrive together.

The seed for Mothers as Leaders was planted in 2012. Our founder, Steliana Economu, had just welcomed her first child and was struck by how motherhood was treated as a logistical challenge to be solved with routines, rather than what it truly is—a baptism in leadership.
