“I founded the network to create a platform for seemingly ordinary women to support, encourage, and enable each other to do extraordinary things and make a difference,” said Sandy Donnelly, Founder of the Women Warriors Network. We have voices, and we have the platforms, events, and social media channels to have an impact as a collective while progressing our careers and businesses.”

“The Women Warriors Network is a platform where people can connect, share knowledge, and learn from each other,” continued Donnelly. “Every conversation matters, and the collective energy of our members is what inspires us to succeed and make a difference. We want this to be a space where you can share your ideas, experiences, and stories, and together, we can have a positive impact on the world.”
The launch of the Women Warriors Network in Dubai, one of the most progressive and visionary cities in the world, marks a significant milestone for the global network. The network’s presence in the Middle East region aligns with its mission to inspire women across diverse backgrounds and encourage across genders and nationalities.
