Mirela Sula is the CEO and founder of Global Woman, as well as a best-selling author

What was the inspiration behind Global Woman?

I wanted to create a platform where women from diverse backgrounds could come together to support and empower each other. Having moved from Albania to London in 2012 with nothing, and then working with a domestic abuse charity, I know first-hand the challenges women face in their personal and professional lives.

I envisioned a community that would provide opportunities for networking, personal growth, and business development. My goal was to create a global movement that fosters collaboration, inspiration, and the sharing of resources among women, enabling them to achieve their full potential.

How important is it to you to give women a voice?

At Global Woman, our primary goal is to help women build their confidence so they can use their voice. Our mantra is: “If you want to empower a woman, give her a microphone!” When women have a platform to express their ideas, share their stories, and influence decisions, it not only empowers them individually but also leads to positive changes in society. For me, it’s about creating an environment where women feel confident, heard, and respected.

What has been the highlight of your career so far?

The successful establishment and growth of the Global Woman Club. To date, we have over 30 clubs around the world and over 300,000 members. Seeing the tangible impact the club has had on women’s lives around the world is incredibly rewarding. Each success story of a woman achieving her goals through the club stands as a highlight in my career.

What advice would you give to women wanting to set up their own business?

My advice to women is to believe in themselves and their vision. I emphasise the importance of building a strong network, seeking mentorship, and continuously learning. It’s crucial to stay resilient in the face of challenges and to maintain a positive mindset. I also advise women to be bold, take risks, and not be afraid of failure, as each setback is an opportunity to learn and grow. Finally, I encourage women to support each other and to leverage the power of community in their entrepreneurial journeys.
