About Dee Poku Spalding

Dee is the founder and CEO of The WIE Suite, a membership club for women in leadership. Its mission is to redefine the way women leaders achieve success for themselves and for their companies by providing the community and tools for them to thrive at the highest levels. The WIE Suite also works with companies to accelerate growth by helping them attract, retain and grow talent. Back in 2010 Dee also co-founded The WIE Network, pioneering one of the early modern women’s conferences, in response to the lack of diversity at traditional business forums. And her initiative Black Women Raise works to accelerate the ability of leading black female founders to raise growth capital, scale up and create pathways for the women behind them. An innate community builder, Dee has attracted numerous business and cultural leaders to her platform over the years, from Queen Rania and Nancy Pelosi to Mellody Hobson and Christy Turlington. Dee’s background includes senior marketing roles at Paramount Pictures and Focus Features (a division of Universal Pictures), working with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson and Emily Blunt. She has marketed numerous award-winning films including Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’; the Coen brothers’ ‘No Country For Old Men’; Sofia Coppola’s 'Lost in Translation', Alejandro González Iñárritu’s ‘Babel’ & ’21 Grams’ and Ang Lee’s 'Brokeback Mountain'. Dee began her career in brand marketing and communications and over the years has worked with renowned brands such as Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Crème de la Mer, Stella Artois and London Fashion Week. Dee has been named one of Marie Claire Magazine’s 50 women changing the world, a Crain’s Notable Black Leader, a CUP Catalyst Changemaker and won a Gold Anthem Award from the Webbys. She is a frequent speaker on women’s workplace advancement, and culture and community building, and has shared her insights at the UN, the New York Times New Rules Summit, Forbes 30 Under 30, the Women’s March summit, the Black Girls Rock Summit, The Female Quotient, Makers, CUP Women’s Leadership Forum; Stern and Georgetown University’s Women’s Summits and BAFTA amongst others. Dee serves on the Board of Directors of The Gotham Institute of Film and the Brooklyn Bridge Conservancy as well as the British Academy of Film & Television (BAFTA)’s DEI steering committee. She was previously on BAFTA’s board and the Credit Suisse New Markets Women’s Advisory Board. She serves as a contributor to Forbes. Dee holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Math.
