Giselle Cheminand Founder of the Leadership Conference ” Extraordinary Women Leading Change”
The Extraordinary Women Leading Change movement was born in 2013, when Mrs. Cheminand, was disappointed with the reality and statistics of women in leadership. As she has coached executives from Fortune 50, 100 and 500 companies, and mentored the next generation of corporate leaders, she has witnessed the successes of those who’ve scaled the corporate ladders, and the challenges of those aspiring to do so. She set her sight on changing this paradigm.
