GLOW — Global Women Leaders in Digital Health
Global Women Leaders in Digital Health

A global network advancing women’s leadership in digital health

GLOW connects emerging and established women through mentorship, coaching, in-person and virtual workshops, peer learning, and visibility for women shaping the future of digital health.

The Problem

Digital health is being shaped now. Women need to be in the rooms where it happens.

Women make up most of the global health workforce, yet remain underrepresented in leadership roles across health technology. As AI is designed, trained, and governed now, digital health needs leaders who reflect the people these tools are meant to serve.

Women are roughly 70% of the health workforce, but hold less than 15% of leadership roles.

In health technology, women hold just 10-15% of executive positions. GLOW helps close that leadership gap by building the relationships, visibility, and support women need to shape digital health from the inside.

Workforce Gap

The people delivering health services are not proportionately represented in the rooms where digital health decisions are made.

AI Governance

AI systems are being shaped today. Their design and governance must more fully represent users, patients, communities, and frontline health workers.

Better Outcomes

Inclusive leadership helps ensure digital health tools are relevant, trusted, and built around the populations they are intended to serve.

Our Mission

Leadership infrastructure for women in digital health

GLOW is built around the relationships, learning, and visibility that help women lead with confidence and expand their influence.

GLOW convenes women across regions, career stages, and sectors to strengthen the digital health leadership pipeline.

The community combines cohort programming, mentorship, expert sessions, and alumni connection so participants leave with practical insight and a durable professional network.

As the ecosystem grows, GLOW creates more pathways for women leaders to exchange knowledge, find collaborators, and bring their expertise into global health decision-making spaces.
