About GlobalWIN

Our Mission

GlobalWIN — the Global Women’s Innovation Network— is a bipartisan non-profit with the goal of connecting women in politics with women in innovation-driven fields. We work primarily with three audiences in mind: women who work on Capitol Hill and the Administration, women from the international diplomatic community, and women in government relations. We work across innovation sectors, and we host about 50+ events each year, nearly all of which are made with these key audiences of women (and men) in mind. Our Honorary Co-Chairs are active members of the GlobalWIN network and include Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Congresswomen Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), and Young Kim (CA-40).

Origin Story

Founded in 2009 by Helen Milby and Melika Carroll, GlobalWIN was born out of the lack of public space and resources for women at the intersection of policy and innovation-driven fields and has grown into a powerful organization of thoughtful women leaders and allies. At the time, women were making significant contributions in their fields and were quickly rising in their companies; but they needed a platform to achieve that next step. Wanting to recognize the great achievements of these women, Helen and Melika founded GlobalWIN as a bi-partisan networking forum for the incredibly talented women in governments, firms, and companies. Since innovation knows no boundaries, GlobalWIN expanded the dynamic platform beyond just Washington, to include international allies and partnerships and trips across the U.S and the world. Since the inception of GlobalWIN under Helen’s dedication and leadership, GlobalWIN has grown to host over 50 events each year and now has over 200 members, with the support of its Honorary Co-Chairs, Board, and hundreds of incredibly talented women, thought leaders, and companies.
