"There is no question that women face barriers in the executive ranks that men do not. We are working to uncover the fundamental issues that interfere with women's success, and designing impactful processes, tools and recommendations to address these issues."

The Leader’s Edge™ is an organization dedicated to enhancing executive women’s effectiveness as senior leaders.
The Leader’s Edge was founded by Molly D. Shepard in 2000 to address the poor representation of women in the highest ranks of American business. The Leader’s Edge is determined, through coaching, research, and presentations, to uncover the causes of this phenomenon so it can be effectively remedied.
To date, we have helped dozens of women from some of the largest and most prestigious companies in the world, including Accenture, GlaxoSmithKline, Lincoln Financial, PECO Energy, Sovereign Bank, University of Pennsylvania, and Wyeth.
