Empowering female entrepreneurs is about creating a system where not only women’s involvement in business is encouraged but actively promoted. This involves more than access to resources; it happens with a change in culture toward diversity and inclusiveness in entrepreneurship. Leaders such as Michelle Raymond are trendsetters of such a transition. By developing inclusive networks, providing specialized training, and designing enabling policies, Raymond tackles the particular issues women encounter—i.e., access to capital and work-life balance. Her project enables women to work in the entrepreneurial space, learn from each other, and empower a new generation of innovative women leaders.
Michelle Raymond’s approach to transformational leadership is rooted in her personal and professional experiences with corporate limitations on talent development. She identified the need for inclusive leadership and established The People’s Partner to create system change and enable diverse leaders. Through initiatives such as The Corporate Acquisition Mastermind, she assists underrepresented business leaders in securing corporate contracts. Her international market orientation is cultural intelligence, visibility, and partnership. Michelle, a human rights activist and leadership coach, promotes cultures where diversity unleashes innovation. Her passion reflects in daily learning and building ecosystems in which all people thrive and contribute purposefully.
Michelle Raymond proudly leads the Diverse Business Summit, now a global platform uniting East and West, set for Dubai in June 2025. Evolving from its UK origins, the summit champions diversity, leadership, tech, and AI. A key feature is the Trailblazers of Diversity Gala, celebrating 100 global leaders. Michelle seeks collaborations in government, real estate, tech, and finance to influence policy and make positive change a reality and she supports sustainability, innovation, and women’s empowerment. Additionally, she calls on the next generation of leaders to lead with character and strength, forge their own opportunity, and stay true to who they are so that they make a lasting, meaningful difference.
Distinguished by The Education View as the Most Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to Watch in UAE in 2024, Michelle Raymond’s journey demonstrates the power of inclusive, transformational leadership in shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
