A Community of Women Leaders

Committed to individual authenticity and collective wisdom

Our mission is to unleash the full potential of each individual in leadership and life.

Our passion is to connect these leaders in order to build a supportive community of women who share our commitment.

Our vision is that by doing so, we help more deserving women achieve their professional goals and help companies reach gender parity at the executive level.

Why Signature?

It’s not about being someone you are not. It’s about being more of who you are.

No two signatures are alike, nor should they be. Every executive has a unique style embedded in how they lead. The more we are able to stay true to that signature, the more authentic and effective we can be, and the more presence and energy we can give to others.

It’s not for everyone.
It’s an exclusive opportunity.

Signature Leaders does not replace companies’ existing leadership training. Companies send only their most promising executives to Signature as a way to say, “You are highly valued, and we will do all we can to support you in your career trajectory.”

It’s not about women.
It’s for women.

Our curriculum is relevant to any audience. But we care so deeply about moving the needle for women executives that we focus the experience on creating an atmosphere of trust where they share openly for all to benefit.

It’s not just professional.
It’s personal.

One of our graduates explained, “My executive MBA program is like the blood in my veins – it gives me knowledge for my role. Through Signature, I gained the muscle and heart – it is where I learned how to lead well, and I can reach out to a trusted connection when navigating rough or uncertain spots.”

Signature Premier was a personal renaissance for me.

Carol Seymour

Founder and CEO

Carol’s true passion is in coaching and developing female executives to be the future leaders in companies around the world.

At the request of a dozen C-suite executives – who still had a gender diversity challenge despite their best efforts – she created Signature Leaders in 2013. She designed the content, experience, and network based on her noteworthy track record navigating roles in operations, strategy, sales, and marketing with large global enterprises, PE-backed firms, and high-growth entrepreneurial ventures. What’s more, Signature continues to expand its content through Carol's leadership and connections in the gender parity space.

The "Signature" experience was an energizing, powerful, and very interactive experience. Carol fosters an environment with no walls, no pretense, complete trust, and honesty. She has discovered how to remove the barriers that keep us from being authentic and, hence, allows us to discover our true signature.

Carol Seymour - Founder and CEOCarol Seymour

Founder and CEO

Carol Seymour is a sought-after business leader and catalyst for growth. As an executive advisor to businesses and executives around the globe, she has a passion for helping leaders perform at maximum potential in their professions and lives.

She founded Signature Premier in 2013 as a single, targeted development opportunity for senior executives. She has grown the program into a company with multiple levels of development programs and custom workshops.

Carol has interviewed more than 1,000 C-suite executives for their leadership insights. In 2017, she authored the book Wisdom Warriors, a collection of profiles and anecdotes gathered from accomplished women executives. Over 70 contributors shared their personal stories to help pass leadership wisdom to their peers and the next generation.

Carol speaks frequently at female network and industry association gatherings, such as NAPCO, CoreNet, and the California Women’s Banking Association. She also helps companies structure key leadership meetings and acts as a facilitator for the events, including Avery Dennison’s Top 200 event and Walmart’s Executive Women forum.

Prior to starting Signature Leaders, Carol held Chief Marketing Officer and Commercial roles at Accenture, Spherion, MeadWestvaco, and DBM. She has led critical transformations, product/service innovations, and turnarounds in large cap companies, startups, and private-equity backed organizations.

She spent several years building World50, a premier senior executive networking organization, as well as G100, a private CEO network for 200 global CEOs. She also founded G100 Inside, which created CEO strategy and leadership development programs for top executives.

Carol is a founding member of Paradigm for Parity, which is a movement of CEOs, senior executives, board members, and business academics committed to achieving gender parity at the senior levels of all major corporations by 2030. She has also launched the initiative called TWOthroughYOU, which asks leaders to take simple action by sponsoring two high-potential women into next level leadership.

Carol’s family includes her daughter, Paige, and her husband, Santos, who are working on mission in Nicaragua and her son, Rob, and his wife, Michelle, who work as part of the team at Signature Leaders. When she isn’t traveling around the globe to connect and inspire others, Carol enjoys the beauty of living in the mountains near Cashiers, North Carolina.

– David W. MacLennan, Chairman & CEO | Cargill

“Wisdom Warriors demonstrates why leading life intentionally makes for better leaders. There isn’t a story inside that doesn’t relate to someone! Buy copies to share with colleagues, friends and daughters.”
