Profiles to Study: Women Leaders Using LinkedIn Well

Many accomplished women still think of LinkedIn as a resume database. If you are not job
hunting, it can feel optional. It is not. Today, LinkedIn is where your leadership travels, where
opportunities find you, and where your team and ideas get the spotlight they deserve.

Excellent Examples of executives on LinkedIn

I work with executive women who want their online presence to match the power of the careers they have built. One of the simplest ways to see what is possible is to study profiles of women who are using LinkedIn with intention. On this page, I showcase profiles worth your time across industries and stages to help you see what “great” looks like and adapt it to your voice.

What becomes possible when you show up strategically

  • Pre-meeting credibility. Let your profile educate people about who you are, what youlead, and how you think, so every meeting starts further ahead.

  • Visible leadership and culture. Make your values, operating rhythm, and team winseasy to see. You will become more magnetic to the right talent.

  • Thought leadership that travels. Use posts, articles, and video to share consideredperspectives from real experience, not generic tips.

  • Warm relationships at scale. Stay top of mind with clients, partners, and formercolleagues even when calendars are packed.

  • Board, speaking, and consulting visibility. Build a richer, findable profile that signals your expertise and attracts aligned invitations.

What to look for in the featured profiles

  • A clear headline. It names the lane they lead in and the value they drive.

  • An About that sounds human. It communicates point of view, not just a bio.

  • Featured section as a storefront. Signature talks, articles, press, and wins—curated,
    not cluttered.

  • Content cadence with intention. Fewer, stronger posts aligned to 2–3 core topics.

  • Comment leadership. Thoughtful dialogue that extends ideas and strengthens
    relationships.

  • Signals of the next chapter. Board interests, advisory focus, or portfolio work stated
    plainly and confidently.

How I selected these examples

Each profile illustrates one or more of the following: strong message-market fit, consistent topic authority, clear executive presence, and reputation-safe storytelling. You will see Fortune 500 leaders, founders, board directors, and operators in transition. None are perfect. All are instructive.​

Use this gallery to accelerate your own presence

1. Skim three profiles in your lane. Note what you admire and what you would change for
your voice.
2. Update your headline and About to match where you are going, not only where you have been.
3. Curate your Featured section to highlight 3–5 proof points that matter now.
4. Commit to two core topics and share one strong post each week for a month.
