Our network is application or invite only. Applicants are vetted to ensure we maintain a diverse and inclusive community of members across generations, seniority level, role type, ethnicity and specialism.

Membership is only open to those who identify as female – however we are passionate about the need for allies and will invite other genders to be part of the discussion where appropriate.

The Women’s Accelerator Network was founded in 2023 with a clear aim to break down silos within the female community to build a momentum for change. The Network is the first of its kind within the Financial Services space that will provide women with a free access to drive their career forwards.

“Too much attention is placed on gender diversity at the very top because it’s the most visible outcome, but the real challenge shows up much earlier in the progression journey. When women aren’t progressing equitably through mid‑management, the leadership pipeline develops broken rungs that prevent future advancement. This network is designed to strengthen that critical middle layer by connecting experienced leaders with emerging talent and accelerating meaningful progression. The impact is proven, Apex Group’s internal Women’s Accelerator Program saw over 50% of participants progress in their careers within its inaugural year, which is exactly why bringing that model to the wider industry felt essential.”
