Ripples is more than a talent agency— it’s a movement reshaping who gets to be heard, seen, and remembered.

We elevate women who change the narrative, who speak with clarity, vision, and courage. Women who don’t wait for permission to lead.
In a world where data still shows the gap— in conferences, in media, in history—we are building a new space.
One ripple at a time.
This is our time.
This is Ripples.
