KKellogg-Affiliated Group

Born from a
bold vision.
Built by women in motion.

Founded in 2021, we serve as a catalyst for the strategic advancement of Kellogg EMBA women in business and society, providing a supportive network for students and alums to ensure a meaningful, rewarding, and successful program and career journey.

Our Purpose

Build a thriving, connected global network of EMBA leaders who uplift one another, lead with purpose, and drive meaningful change.

The Kellogg Executive MBA puts you in a room with extraordinary people for two years. Women@EMBA ensures those relationships continue to grow through a global community built on genuine connection, shared learning, and the generosity of women and allies who open doors, share what they know, and advance one another.

A trusted community where you can ask the questions that matter

The offer you're weighing, the board seat you're being considered for, the situation you can't bring to your own team. Get candid perspective from women and allies who understand the complexity of the decisions you're making and are willing to share what they know.

Join our WhatsApp community

A community that shows up for one another

A warm introduction when you're exploring your next move. An honest read on a company from someone who's been inside it. A connection to an investor, customer, candidate or expert. Members who will pressure-test your thinking, make the introduction or help open the door. That's what it means to be part of this community.

Join our LinkedIn

Mentorship that flows in both directions

Student-to-alum for those navigating the program, alum-to-alum for those navigating what comes next. Thoughtfully matched, structured with care, and available to you at every stage.

Why Women@EMBA?

We exist for those leaders who chose, mid-career, to invest again. Time, money, and energy poured back into their own growth at a stage when most peers are consolidating what they've built. That choice takes courage. You bring years of authority and expertise into a room that is also asking you to stretch, to unlearn, to consider what comes next. We're not preparing for our careers. We're reshaping them, while leading the way, together.

EMBA-Specific

The first and only group built exclusively for the Kellogg EMBA network.

Executive Led

"We've been in your seat." Programming built by executives, for executives.
