NEXT Program Overview

The leap to senior leadership is one of tech’s most challenging transitions. As a director or VP, you’re expected to operate at an executive level before you’ve had the chance to develop executive skills. NEXT’s six-month accelerator shatters this barrier, equipping women tech leaders with the strategic acumen, decision-making frameworks, and executive presence needed to thrive at the highest levels. 

This is leadership development reimagined. Through immersive retreats, real-world simulations, and a vetted peer community, NEXT transforms theoretical knowledge into actionable results. You’ll confront authentic C-suite challenges alongside fellow rising executives, gaining not just insights but the confidence to implement them immediately—because the transition waits for no one. 

The impact ripples far beyond individual careers. With women holding just 28% of senior tech roles, every leader who ascends reshapes the industry’s future. NEXT prepares you for executive leadership while fueling a movement where your growth becomes the catalyst for systemic change.
