Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde talks to Entrepreneur magazine about how Aurora50 is “strengthening the pipeline of competent female leaders” with its Pathway accelerator, Board Summit and Manarat club for experienced women board directors.

The social enterprise, launched in 2020, aims to create a “sisterhood” of women who can then pave the way for future women leaders.
