PWN MADRID - Professional Women's Network

What PWN MADRID - Professional Women's Network does

PWN Madrid - Professional Women's Network is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 2006 and headquartered in Madrid (C/ María de Molina, 39), operating as the Madrid node of the global Professional Women's Network (PWN Global, present in 30+ countries). The association serves professional women across career stages — executives, managers, entrepreneurs, young professionals, and women 50+ — through a portfolio of programs including a Group Mentoring Program (XX edition in 2026 serving 150 mentees across 13 thematic tracks), an Individual Coaching Program, the PWN Mastermind and Path Development Series, and the flagship LDH (Liderazgo Digital y Humano) University Expert Program delivered in its 5th edition in partnership with Universidad Castilla-La Mancha. Events layer on top of the program portfolio, comprising monthly Networking Drinks, the Only4Corporates corporate partner format, the Learning Workshop Series (LWS), the annual PWN Madrid CON conference, and the International Women's Day celebration.

The organization runs with a lean staff of 14 employees and an active volunteer base, governed by a Board of Directors (Junta Directiva) led by President Yolanda Gutiérrez, with corporate partnerships anchored by enterprises such as Oracle, Capgemini, Cisco, Iberdrola, Holcim, EDP, El Corte Inglés, Indosuez, Ayesa, Kyocera, Lyntia, PRIM, and Accumin, plus venue and academic partners including Meliá Castilla, Universidad Nebrija, and UCLM. PWN Madrid's technology stack is intentionally non-proprietary, built on WordPress for the website, Mailchimp for email, standard video conferencing for virtual events, and social media platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, WhatsApp Community) for engagement. The association holds the Spanish Ministry of the Interior's "association of public utility" designation (since 2016) and endorsements from the Instituto de las Mujeres and the Ayuntamiento de Madrid.

Revenue is generated through three streams: annual individual premium memberships priced at €135 (approximately €11/month), fees for paid events and the LDH university expert program, and corporate partner sponsorships. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven: non-members experience the value through free events and content, then convert to premium membership, while corporate partners are acquired through targeted D&I outreach demonstrating talent development value.
