Driving Collective Power: Our Global Advisory Network (GAN)

How a global community of experts is helping close the social capital gap and accelerate women-led impact.
World Pulse is building a future where women everywhere are connected to the tools, resources, and relationships they need to create lasting change. Our Global Advisory Network (GAN) helps make that possible. It's a collective of bold leaders from around the world, including strategists, creatives, funders, and technologists. Together, they contribute strategic insight, specialized expertise, and transformative ideas to co-create a thriving digital ecosystem.
Through GAN’s support, World Pulse continues to grow as a powerful platform where women and allies connect, share stories, access resources, collaborate, and ignite real-world change—one connection, one collaboration at a time.
“GAN members are not just advisors. They are co-creators, movement builders, and vision partners.” –Robin Parisse - World Pulse GAN Network Co-Chair
From Advice to Action
Unlike traditional boards, GAN members co-create with World Pulse teams—helping drive projects, open doors, and shape systems. From digitizing our mentorship model to co-designing our platform, GAN members spearhead innovations rooted in community wisdom. Each member contributes a unique blend of time, talent, treasure, and lived experience—modeling what it means to lead from where you are and give in the ways that matter most.
GAN's Impact by the Numbers:
- $400,000 in pro bono services contributed
- +$100,000 in gifts and pledges
- Support for strategic campaigns, governance, innovation, and grassroots changemaker mentorship
Technology with Purpose
In a time when technology is often driven by algorithms, surveillance, and profit over people, the Global Advisory Network (GAN) demonstrates a different path: one rooted in people-centered design, reciprocity, and shared purpose. At World Pulse, tech isn’t extractive. It’s connective. It’s the infrastructure of belonging—and GAN helps build that scaffolding.
To date, World Pulse is proud to have over 50 advisors representing diverse fields such as business, law, safety and security, digital media, advocacy, philanthropy, marketing, and more.
We are now expanding to welcome technology experts in areas such as data management and infrastructure, AI ethics and design, platform security, UX/UI, product strategy, and digital inclusion—strengthening our ability to build a safe, purpose-driven tech ecosystem for global impact.
Looking Ahead
In 2025, GAN will continue to anchor World Pulse’s evolution. With a new leadership path forward, GAN’s insight and solidarity will be key to growing with intention and staying rooted in values.
Because when we connect our power—with intention, equity, and care—we accelerate global transformation.
