About
Welcome to Our Women in Sanctions Network
We come together as a community to support and empower each other through our shared experiences and expertise in navigating the complexities of sanctions.
Our group is comprised of a diverse array of members, each bringing their own unique perspectives and backgrounds to the table. We have members from various industries, including finance, legal, policy, and academia, who specialize in different aspects of sanctions, such as compliance, enforcement, and sanctions relief.
Many of our members are trailblazers in their fields, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of women to succeed in the sanctions industry. They have achieved significant accomplishments, such as leading high-profile sanctions investigations, advising multinational corporations on compliance best practices, and advocating for sanctions relief on behalf of humanitarian causes.
