OUR STORY
The Executive Collective was founded in Monte Carlo by Mia Aboujdid and Gina Whitehead Girona, who saw how few women held leadership seats in business aviation and how much talent was being lost to a lack of mentorship and access.
What started as networking dinners under the name Riviera Ladies Club has turned into something more structured: a mentorship and scholarship platform working with respected names across the industry to open doors.
Today, as The Executive Collective, we work across Europe and the Middle East, with members at every stage of their career — from students to executive circle.
OUR VALUES
Excellence — the highest standard, in the events we curate, the partners we choose, and the careers we help shape.
Equality — eliminating gender-based barriers in business aviation isn't an aspiration, it's the foundation of everything we do.
Community & Solidarity — we believe in the women supporting women. The EC is a space for shared experience, honest mentorship, and mutual ambition.
Education & Empowerment — from a first licence to a leadership title, we invest in the education that changes a career's trajectory.
Prestige & Discretion — our network is curated, not crowded. We're selective about partnerships and deliberate about who we bring into the room.
SPONSORS & PARTNERS
Thanks to our sponsors Dassault, Jetcraft, Jet Support Services, inc., Jaquet Droz, Behne Aero, RC Monaco Jets as well as all other beloved sponsors that have supported us in these events, without whom we couldn’t make an impact.
