Defying stereotypes, 
creating change.

Letter from Alexia

We are a 17,500 strong network of changemakehers.

Our mission is to close the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, Leadership & Entrepreneurship. 

A letter from our founder,

GirlBoss began with a problem I lived.

I was 15 before I met a female software engineer.

The only girl in my tech class.

The only girl in Advanced Physics.

At 16, I started GirlBoss because something had to change.

 

Today, GirlBoss is a network of 17,500 young women, with members in over 100 schools.

 

In the UAE, we run inspiring school talks, practical workshops, and our GirlBoss Edge accelerator, all designed to build confidence, career clarity, and leadership skills.

 

Our mission? To equip future-ready young women to lead and change the world.

 

From Sharjah to Abu Dhabi, our members are using 21st-century skills to solve real problems and shape their futures.

 

Together, we’re building a world where the next generation grow up with purpose, choice, and power.

 

Thank you for backing our mission.

- Alexia Hilbertidou
Founder & CEO, GirlBoss UAE

"GirlBoss showed me I can achieve anything,

as long as I’m unapologetically ambitious."
