Rania Habiby Anderson

Rania H. Anderson is a leading authority on the intentional role of men, managers and leaders in advancing gender parity and on the professional advancement of women in the workplace. She is an award-winning author and speaker to such Fortune 100 companies as American Express, Bank of America, GM, Microsoft, P&G, Pepsi and PwC.

An economist at heart, Rania shows men, managers, and leaders why their success and that of their organizations hinges on achieving gender balance. She developed a ground-breaking behavioral model – the WE 4.0 Framework, to guides men and managers to recruit, retain, and lead with high caliber women. The Framework forms the basis of her latest, first of its kind, evidence based book, WE: Men, Women, and the Decisive Formula for Winning at Work.

Her earlier book, UNDETERRED: The Six Success Habits of Women in Emerging Economies, was the first career book expressly written for women in developing and emerging economies.

Rania began her career at Bank of America where she worked in several capacities culminating in a senior leadership role. In 1997, she started her executive coaching and consulting practice and works with leaders around the world.

She is founder of The Way WoMen Work, which provides ambitious men and women with tips, tools and advice to accelerate their success. She also is co-founder of one of the first women's angel investor networks in the United States, whose members invest in high-growth, women-led businesses.

In 2015, the prestigious International Women’s Forum awarded Rania the Women Who Make a Difference Award, and the Diplomatic Courier named her a Top Global Woman making a difference in 2012.

Rania, who grew up in the Middle East, earned a Master’s degree in Foreign Service from Georgetown University with an honors concentration in International Business and an undergraduate degree in Business from Oklahoma State University.

She is fluent in English and conversational in Arabic and Spanish.
