Zaileen Janmohamed shared her intentional effort to have her executive team be made up of women! She dove into the role of the BAHC’s responsibility in bringing World Class Events to the Bay featuring NBA All Star in February 2025, NFL Super Bowl scheduled for February 2026 and FIFA World Cup26™
Why Women? As President and CEO, Zaileen noted that over the years she has worked with women who are “rock stars” but have never been given a chance to serve in leadership positions. Her high standard for the organization she’s leading has a small window to achieve success. They know they are setting the bar high and want their work to be an example for the next group of women leaders.
When asked how do these amazing female executives balance work and life? Zaileen answered, “Do what you love, that’s the balance. Moms are amazing, women are amazing.”
WHY WISE?
Because WISE is an organization that supports and helps women who are searching for a new job, looking for a mentor or just want to find a community that pushes its members forward.
