Women Who Lead

Frances Rios

Founder & CEO

Entrepreneur, International Speaker, Author, and Globetrotter

When leaders think about women & business, they think of Frances.

Not because of her gender but because she has created proprietary tools and exclusive programs proven to help companies attract and retain the best female talent customer and ignite profits.

Frances Rios’ background leading Fortune Fifty companies, her experience handling media crises, and her 16 years with her firm have allowed her to become the go-to guru for women.

“I am not a feminist.
I am simply a capitalist who wants women to make money in equal proportions to their employers and male colleagues”.

Coming from the corporate world, Frances uniquely focuses on measuring everything! As Peter Drucker said, “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.”

“We work with medium to large international companies that want to see fast results when it comes to leveraging their female talent and customers.”

Whether you want to create a female-centric advertising campaign, a unique customer experience, a safe work environment, or manage a crisis related to sexual harassment or equal pay, we have your back.

Frances’ unique expertise was recognized by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which recognized Women Who Lead as ONE of 15 firms in the United States as SIGNIFICANT partners.

She has created exclusive programs such as The Women Who Lead Summit: Money Edition, W Certified Company™, Latina Owned Certification, and the Latina Next community with more than 2,500 members.

Frances is a graduate of Loyola University in New Orleans and is now based in Brickell, Miami.
