A proactive alliance of global leaders from politics, business, academia and enterprise. World Business Women  was created by Helene Martin Gee and launched by Baroness May of Maidenhead The Rt Hon Theresa May Former UK Prime Minister Savvitas Patron,  calling it "A unique opportunity to create lasting connections across diverse nations, businesses and sectors"

A Savvitas programme, WBW  aims to boost opportunities for women in business and encourage collaboration between women from every sector, through bi-monthly WBW Caucus meetings and WBW Day each October. WBW brings together global business leaders to amplify women's leadership and enterprise.
