Creating new pathways to hotel ownership + development for women.

Our Mission

She Has a Deal has one mission: to create new pathways to hotel ownership and development for women. It sounds simple, but the barriers are real, from access to knowledge and networks to securing capital.
 

We provide expert-led education and hands-on coaching. Participants gain unmatched access to the most influential industry leaders, from senior executives at top hotel brands to key players in finance and development.
