Montreal I,II & III and Quebec City Chapters
Share to be inspired and rise TOGETHER
Virginie Audet is also the founding president of the first three French-speaking chapters of the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) in Montréal and Québec City, elite networks bringing together presidents, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and members of senior leadership from growth-oriented companies. In the context of the organization’s global expansion, she has also been appointed Head of French Global WPO Chapters, actively contributing to the development and international visibility of the French-speaking chapters.
Founded in 1997 by Dr. Marsha Firestone, WPO is built on a peer advisory model recognized internationally and proven for nearly 30 years among women leading growth-oriented companies. Since 2015, the organization has been led by Camille Burns, who continues to expand globally this unique network of women leaders.
A strategic space for women leaders
The WPO is a strategic and confidential space where presidents, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and members of senior leadership refine their thinking, strengthen their leadership, and make better decisions for the future of their companies.
A proven Peer Advisory model
Through peer groups composed of CEOs at a comparable stage of growth, members engage in structured discussions that allow them to analyze real business challenges, step back from day-to-day operations, benefit from valuable perspectives, and share their successes.
This PeerView®, built on trust among peers, supports more informed decision-making, greater leadership clarity, and increased effectiveness in the role of CEO.
High-level international learning opportunities
Members also have access to high-level international learning opportunities, including programs offered in collaboration with Harvard University, specifically designed to support the strategic development and ambitions of these exceptional women leaders.
”Facilitating exchanges between high-calibre members from varied fields of the business is my greatest pleasure. These inspiring and engaged discussions help break isolation and create invaluable connections.

Is the WPO right for me?
- Have you ever dreamed of being part of a “board” of women business owners, entrepreneurs, and directors? Women who are among the most influential in their industry and who are driven to create wealth and make a difference?
- Are you ambitious (annual revenue >$1 million), seeing growth and want to exchange, share, and confide with your peers in complete confidentiality about your large-scale projects, challenges or multimillion dollar opportunities?
- Are you looking for a place that offers mutual aid, a sympathetic ear, and close camaraderie without judgment or competition?
- Do you prefer hybrid meetings in case of unforeseen trips, family issues or going abroad for your projects?
Here are just some of the benefits:
- A forum of high-level women leaders from a wide range of non-competitive industries
- Each chapter includes 15/20 members, all from different fields in order to maintain the confidentiality of the exchanges
- Retreats are hosted in inspiring settings that encourage strategic reflection and in-depth exchanges among women leaders.
- Access to more than 2,300 local, national and international members
- International virtual training, Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum, Harvard training, etc.
