Leaders & Partners

At Grace & Power’s Executive Edge Forum 2025, we bring together an extraordinary roster of women leaders and changemakers—each selected for their ability to challenge the status quo and inspire authentic leadership. Whether as speakers or facilitators, our lineup represents resilience, vision, and real-world impact. Here’s what makes our featured leaders stand out:

Why It Matters

Powerful storytelling grounded in expertise.

Like marquee women’s leadership conferences around the world, we pair personal narratives with hard-earned wisdom. Our speakers—from leading mental health professionals to innovation architects—deliver insights that resonate in boardrooms, communities, and across generations.

Crystal-clear value for organizations.

Much like top speaker portfolios, our page foregrounds what audiences will gain: strategic foresight, inclusive cultures, hybrid-work mastery, psychological agility, resilience, and more. Each profile isn’t just a name—it’s a promise of transformation.

Strong call-to-action and engagement cues.

In the spirit of best-in-class global speaker pages, our content prompts exploration while driving participation—whether clients want to learn from our moderator’s empathy-driven leadership or connect with our cybersecurity thought leader on resilience.

Leaders & Partners

A Leadership Platform. Not Just Another Event.

At Grace & Power’s Executive Edge Forum 2025, we bring together an extraordinary roster of women leaders and changemakers—each selected for their ability to challenge the status quo and inspire authentic leadership. Whether as speakers or facilitators, our lineup represents resilience, vision, and real-world impact. Here’s what makes our featured leaders stand out:

Laser-Focused Audience

We convene senior women executives, decision-makers, and changemakers—not general attendees. Every seat is intentional, and every interaction is high-value.

Asia-Pacific Executive Reach

With a focus on Southeast Asia, the forum delivers direct access to emerging leadership markets often overlooked by global sponsorship circuits.

Dialogue-Driven, Not Lecture-Led

Sessions are designed for peer-to-peer exchange, intimate conversations, and deep engagement—not stage monologues or generic panels.

Human-Centered + Strategic Themes

The program blends emotional intelligence, digital-era leadership, culture shaping, and adaptive strategy—making it both future-forward and grounded in real-world relevance.

Brand-as-Partner, Not Just Sponsor

Sponsors are embedded into the event narrative through co-branded tools, hosted moments, content integration, and leadership roles—far beyond logo placement.

Outcome-Oriented ROI

From lead generation to leadership alignment, Grace & Power is built for measurable returns—with a conversion funnel and follow-through ecosystem that benefits your business long after the event.

Partner With Purpose Lead What’s Next.
