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.
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.”
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.

The Signature Leaders faculty is rich with experienced executives.
More than 150 C-suite executives, including 15 CEOs, generously share real-world leadership lessons and wisdom through facilitated sessions, one-to-one connections, alumni dinner gatherings, and other engagement opportunities. Each plays a vital role in the ongoing development and sustainable performance of our participants. In addition, our faculty derives significant value from their participation. It’s an opportunity to give back. Once they experience Signature, they want to stay involved!
