AdvaMed Women's Executive Network (WEN)

About WEN

The AdvaMed Women’s Executive Network (WEN) is an international initiative aimed at creating a better future for medtech through diversity, specifically by elevating women leaders in medtech.

WEN engages women by connecting with likeminded regional partner organizations and amplifying collective efforts to support female leaders, create networking opportunities, share ideas, inspire action and solve unmet needs in health care. Together, we will create an innovative health care system that works for everyone.

WEN Leadership

Executive women in medtech join and invest in WEN, because diversity of perspective is better for patients, industry, and broad health progress.
