Our 2025-2026 Program: Mexico

The MIT Sloan Women on Boards in Latin America Program is a different kind of board education program. Our regional program, which this year is focused on Mexico, empowers and equips accomplished senior women professionals with the skills and tools necessary to navigate and succeed in corporate boardrooms.

The goal of MSWoB is to increase the number of Latin American women actually joining—and succeeding on—corporate boards. To achieve this goal, our program also focuses on facilitating and fostering the formal and informal links, connections, and networks critical to the board selection process.

Our mission is clear: to improve corporate performance and profitability by accelerating the trend – and the success of – diverse voices in the boardroom.
