Leadership that uplifts. Growth that connects. Work that remembers what matters.
AWE Impact is a Nordic-rooted leadership and growth company founded by Benedicte Hagen Mjøs—a strategist, speaker and leadership guide with three decades of experience across boardrooms, cultures, and ecosystems.
We build programs and partnerships that connect the Nordics with global markets like India and Global South — bridging business and purpose, innovation and inclusion, systems and souls. We work especially with founders and ecosystem enablers who are ready to grow standing strong in their values.
Our work is grounded in presence, clarity, care, and courage. We believe leadership is not just about performance—but about remembering who we are, and what we are here to build.
Our Way of Working:
AWE Impact is not a traditional company. It is a constellation—of people, places, and practices. Everything we build is shaped through deep listening, aligned partnerships, and purpose-driven co-creation.
