I joined behind closed doors because as a business owner it can be quite isolating at the top. I really wanted to be challenged and I really wanted to meet like minded women and I wanted to be able to network and build relationships with people who would challenge me and inspire me.

Meet Founder and Managing Director Donny Walford

I established behind closed doors in 2008, to create a national community for businesswomen and female entrepreneurs.  We offer a national membership exclusively for women and pride ourselves on matching prospective members with the most appropriate Facilitators and Group Members.  In addition, behind closed doors improves the performance of individuals with our one-2-one women’s business coaching and mentoring programs.

I am a woman with a strong passion for business and encouraging more diversity and inclusion into organisations.  As the Founder and Managing Director of behind closed doors, my vision was to establish a national Executive Businesswomen’s network where women open doors to their networks, transact business, persuade and support each other to accomplish greater professional challenges such as appointments to Executive and Board roles, and if they are on Boards, to chair those Boards.
