WOMEN WHO
SCALE
Women Who Scale (WWS) is an initiative dedicated to showcasing the journeys, leadership, and achievements of women who are actively building, expanding, and elevating their businesses and impact. These are women who have moved beyond the early stages and are now navigating growth, complexity, and scale,; with resilience, strategy, and vision.
By sharing their stories, we aim to create visibility where it matters, unlock high-value opportunities, and connect them with networks, partnerships, and platforms that accelerate their growth. We believe that women who scale are not just growing businesses; they are shaping industries, creating economic value, and setting new standards of leadership.
WWS exists to spotlight these women, amplify their influence, and position them in the right rooms where their work is recognized, supported, and expanded further.
If any of our featured journeys resonate with you, or if you are in a position to collaborate, invest, or support these women in their growth journey, please reach out to us at support@fowes.org. We will be pleased to connect you and facilitate meaningful, growth-driven opportunities.

Lindsay
Newitter
Certified Alexander Technique Trainer | Founder, Lindsay Newitter
Lindsay helps individuals overcome the hidden physical habits that impact how they show up and express themselves. Her work focuses on the connection between posture, breathing, voice, and mindset, guiding people to communicate with clarity, confidence, and ease, especially in high-pressure or group environments.
Her approach is shaped by her own journey. As an introvert, Lindsay often struggled to find her voice in group settings despite having valuable insights to share. After exploring traditional methods like exercises, yoga, and even acting, she discovered that real transformation came from engaging the mind and developing awareness, not forcing physical correction. Today, she uses this approach to help others unlock a more natural, confident way of communicating.
