About Us

Rooted in Service. Grown Through Legacy.

Veteran Women of Influence was founded by a multigenerational military family — mother, father, and daughter — who saw firsthand how many women veterans face career stagnation, isolation, and burnout after their service. We knew it was time for a new kind of transition: one that leads to fulfillment, purpose, and  ownership of one’s future.
