At HeronCode, we're not just a management consultancy providing solutions related to human capital. We're on a mission to make a difference, to go beyond just making profits, and to launch positive initiatives that impact society in a meaningful way. Empowering women in leadership positions is one such initiative that feels natural to us. We want to celebrate and reward women who have shattered the glass ceiling, who have orchestrated a rise into leadership positions in industries that are still unfairly male-dominated. Witnessing the gradual change in cultural and societal mindsets is inspiring, and we want to be a driving force behind that change.


Our podcast is a testament to our commitment to empowering women in leadership. It's not just about recognizing the women leaders of today, but also about inspiring both current and future generations of leaders, regardless of their gender. Our "Retained Women in Leadership Search" is another key service offering that ensures women are well-represented on boards and in C-suites.
