About LeadHer
Redefine the Possible Unlearning limits. Unlocking leadership.
LeadHer is a leadership summit for women at every level in equipment finance, grounded in what’s next for the industry and guided by the voices of the women already leading it. With disruption accelerating across all facets of life and business, this event focuses on business impact, leading boldly in a new era, and meaningful connection — all through a distinctly women-led lens.
This is not your typical business conference. It’s an intentional space for real talk and real growth — where masks come off, support runs deep, and honest, action-oriented conversations take center stage.

Our Mission & Focus
Monitor’s LeadHer Women’s Leadership Summit is dedicated to the professional advancement, empowerment, and unique lived experiences of women and non-binary leaders in the equipment finance industry. Our programming is curated to address the specific systemic challenges, successes, and leadership journeys of those who identify as women.
Our Community Standards
We are committed to creating a supportive, high-trust environment where attendees can engage in vulnerable and open dialogue. While our content is specifically designed by and for women, we welcome any individual who is committed to supporting our mission of gender equity in leadership.
An Inclusive Environment
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability. We ask all participants, regardless of identity, to enter this space with the intent to center the voices of women and uphold the spirit of the summit as a focused sanctuary for female-identifying professionals.
