About Us

WIN

We are a mission driven impact organization based in Lausanne, Switzerland founded in 1997 in Milan by Norwegian social entrepreneur and pioneer, Kristin Engvig. She brought a revolutionary new way to the world of business by integrating holistic perspectives, aesthetics, joy, wellness and nurturing values.

WIN has provided pioneering thought leadership and is the reference for numerous individuals and organizations worldwide. It keeps opening new paths and inspiring exceptional leaders, managers, entrepreneurs and talents through its innovative and collaborative framework of change.

WIN was born as the Women's International Network, envisioned to weave together the world’s international women's networks into a vibrant, united community. Rooted in the art of true connection and sisterhood, it redefined networking as a force for transformation. Today, WIN stands as a beacon of pioneering leadership, going far beyond networking, renowned for the WIN Conference and its ground breaking work with organizations to create cultures where inclusion, innovation, and human flourishing thrive.

WIN has been both an association, a social enterprise and is fundraising to become a foundation.
