Colleagues gathered around a laptop in a bright meeting room

The women who keep businesses running, all in one place.

Virtual assistants, online business managers, bookkeepers and operators. Find the person who takes the back office off your hands, or get listed and be found.

Behind every business that runs well, there is someone running it.

They are rarely the loudest person in the room, which is exactly why they are so hard to find. Women Who Run Things is a global directory of the operators, assistants and managers who hold businesses together. Every profile is reviewed by a human before it goes live.

The Directory

Search by specialty and location. Every listing is reviewed, so you are not sorting through noise.

02

The Community

A place to compare notes with people who do the same work you do, and to hear about roles before they are advertised.

03

The Handover

Our monthly newsletter. One useful thing, one member spotlight, one honest note about running a business alone.

04

Rates and Resources

What this work is actually worth, what to charge, and how to price a retainer without guessing.

Stop guessing what to charge.

Most operators undercharge because nobody tells them what the market pays. Our rates guide breaks down real numbers by specialty, experience and region, so you can price with a straight face.
