About Aerendil: A Global Platform for Women in Leadership

Aerendil empowers women in global security, foreign policy, and human rights by providing the tools, mentorship, and network they need to lead.

Aerendil addresses the critical underrepresentation of women in global security, empowering them to amplify their voices and influence through a comprehensive platform of community, content, and collaboration.

 

“Aerendil (noun): A guiding light, a beacon of hope and connection representing the power of individual brilliance coming together to illuminate pathways and inspire collective impact.

Also, the light from the morning star that Galadriel gives Frodo to shine in the darkness when all other lights go out.”

A FORCE MULTIPLIER

Aerendil isn’t your typical “networking” platform - we’re a force multiplier where women and our champions come to thrive. The world needs more women leading the charge. But getting there - and staying there - can be a lonely road.

CLOSING THE DREAM DO GAP

So we bring you the tools, courses, mentorship, and a global network of women who get it and get it done. We’re here to close the dream-do gap because you can’t feel “meh” when you’ve got a crew of inspiring women and men cheering you on.

INSPIRING ACTION AND CHANGE

Imagine: you’ve got your people, skills, confidence, and courage. Suddenly, the impact you want to make feels possible. Whether you’re in the middle of a tough negotiation, pushing for policy change, crafting a game-changing strategy, or trying to make work-life harmony a reality (pro tip - it’s all about the calendar!), Aerendil’s got your back.

THROUGH PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Come sharpen your tools and connect with women who are just like you—driven, ambitious, and unapologetic.We know you’ve got what it takes - just don’t try to go at it alone.

TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE

Everyone benefits from the right resources, community, and a little extra dose of confidence and courage (we’ve got those in spades). Even Olympic athletes have coaches and a cheering crowd in their corner!
