If DEI Is Dead, What Do Women Leaders Do Now?

The corporate world is at a crossroads. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—once considered a vital force for workplace transformation—are being questioned, defunded, or deprioritized. For women in leadership, particularly those who have championed or benefited from DEI efforts, this shift raises urgent questions: What comes next? How can women leaders navigate an evolving corporate landscape that no longer prioritizes their advancement?

BossmakeHer Inc., founded by CEO Tracy Saunders, is answering these questions head-on. As a premier destination for corporate women leaders and executives seeking career transformation, BossmakeHer is redefining what success looks like when traditional DEI frameworks are no longer guaranteed. The platform provides strategic career coaching, executive networking, and professional tools, empowering women to take control of their careers rather than waiting for systemic change.

“Women leaders are done waiting for permission to take the next step in their careers,” says Saunders. “If a company doesn’t value their contributions, it’s time to find one that does—or create new opportunities on their own terms. We help them do that.”

For years, DEI initiatives have served as a mechanism for corporate accountability, creating programs designed to support underrepresented professionals. However, with many organizations rolling back these efforts, women leaders are left to navigate an uncertain terrain. BossmakeHer is filling this gap by equipping high-achieving women with the tools and connections to make bold career moves—whether that means securing executive roles, negotiating better compensation, or transitioning into more fulfilling professional paths.

What makes BossmakeHer different from traditional career platforms is its exclusive focus on corporate women leaders and executives. Unlike generalized job search platforms, BossmakeHer offers targeted strategies designed specifically for high-level professionals who are tired of workplace stagnation and inequitable treatment.

“The conversation has shifted from ‘How do we fix the system?’ to ‘How do we navigate it in a way that benefits us?’” Saunders explains. “BossmakeHer is about ensuring women in leadership have the clarity, confidence, and connections to make their next career move a transformational one.”

A key component of BossmakeHer’s approach is its emphasis on strategic career mobility. The platform helps women move beyond traditional job searches by leveraging executive networks, personalized coaching, and career strategy insights that maximize their market value. This holistic approach ensures that women leaders are not just finding jobs—they are securing roles that align with their long-term career and financial goals.

The need for organizations like BossmakeHer is more pressing than ever. A growing body of research indicates that women, particularly women of color, continue to be underrepresented in executive roles. Without structured DEI initiatives in place, the burden often falls on individuals to advocate for their own advancement. BossmakeHer is shifting that burden by providing women with the resources, support, and strategies to take decisive action in their careers.

In addition to career coaching, BossmakeHer fosters a powerful community of like-minded executives. Through private networking events, exclusive leadership resources, and mentorship opportunities, the platform ensures that women leaders are connected to the right people and opportunities.

As companies reevaluate their DEI commitments, women in leadership face a pivotal decision: wait for change or take action. BossmakeHer is making that decision easier by providing a clear pathway to career success on their own terms.
