Meet Tilde Guajardo, Founder & CVO of Womanars

 

Tilde Guajardo is the Founder & Chief Visionary Officer of Womanars. Her passion to inspire and empower women and girls throughout the world is what drives her. She is an emerging leader using today’s latest technology to create a “virtual” global online community of women who share her passion and vision.

She is a survivor of childhood molestation at the hands of multiple child predators as well as a survivor of a traumatic divorce after 14 years of marriage. These events have instilled a resolve in her not to let her past dictate her future. She believes we can use our past experiences to learn and grow and to encourage and empower others who might find themselves lost, in transition or in need of direction to pursue their own passion and purpose and not only learn to survive but “Thrive” on their life journey.

Tilde is a proud Army veteran, who served four years of service as a Counterintelligence Agent. She received commendation from her peers and superiors for her anti-terrorism briefings, which were delivered to numerous military audiences ranging in size from 6 to more than 500 people at a time. She also helped develop curriculum and training programs for Army Defense Attaches being sent abroad, and was selected to help train some of the Army’s most elite Special Forces groups in anti-terrorism techniques. She was recognized for her work ethic and leadership abilities by being promoted to Sergeant in the short span of four years and left the Army with an honorable discharge. It was during those four years she learned she was an effective communicator and leader.

Since her late 20’s she has been a woman’s advocate and leader in local churches and non-profit organizations by teaching, speaking, volunteering, and organizing fundraisers to help bring awareness to numerous women’s issues like human trafficking, breast cancer, and domestic violence.

She has an entrepreneur background and is an Aircraft Dispatcher employed for the past 17 years by a thriving major airline that allows her to enjoy her second passion for travel and experiencing the world.

Her first book is scheduled to be published by the end of this year. It will tell about her life journey “from pain, anger, and fear to faith, hope, and love.” So stay tuned!! To schedule an event or speaking engagement, please email tilde@womanars.com.
