Bpeace's story
After the tumultuous aftermath of 9/11, Bpeace co-founder and former CEO Toni Maloney found herself at a United Nations Symposium in Geneva, surrounded by 700 women all asking themselves, “What could they do as women to broker peace?”
Inspired by the idea that business could contribute to global harmony, Toni and five colleagues from New York City founded Bpeace (The Business Council for Peace). Their mission: empower women business owners in conflict-ridden and developing regions to grow their enterprises.
Initially focusing on countries like Afghanistan and Rwanda, where women lacked voice and opportunity, Bpeace provided skills, mentorship, and resources to help women succeed as business leaders. By fostering economic independence and wealth creation, Bpeace aimed to catalyze lasting community change and, ultimately, contribute to peace.
