A catalyst for change and champion for women’s leadership, Amy Landry is the powerhouse behind Loyola University New Orleans’ Women’s Leadership Academy (WLA). Since launching the program under President Tania Tetlow in 2019, she has transformed it into a premier leadership experience that has empowered more than 320 women across Louisiana and beyond. Now entering its eighth cohort, WLA remains the only university-hosted academy of its kind in the state, uniting bold, purpose-driven leaders from every sector.
Landry’s vision extends beyond the academy. She also facilitates Loyola’s Young Women’s Leadership Academy and created the university’s vibrant International Women’s Day Celebration.
A natural connector and advocate, Landry has served as President of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) Crescent City Connections and is a proud Junior League Sustainer. Her work has earned recognition as a CityBusiness Woman of the Year (2018), ABWA National Top 10 Business Woman (2019), and New Orleans Magazine Top Female Achiever (2023).
