"Why did people always ask if it was hard to be a woman in business, when there were so many ways to hide what we truly felt?"

- Marie, EXIT

Gender Equality

As a mother of two and an entrepreneur who has navigated both startup life and big tech, I’ve experienced first-hand how unequal the playing field can be for women. Gender equality isn’t just about representation at the table, it’s about creating an environment where ambition doesn’t clash with parenthood, and where women don’t have to choose between leadership and care. As an investor, I pay close attention to who gets funded and who doesn’t, because capital allocation shapes the future we all live in. For me, equality is not an abstract value; it’s a daily practice of building systems, teams, and opportunities where every voice can thrive.

To go deeper

The conversation about gender equality in business is often stuck on representation. My work goes beyond counting seats at the table to focus on the systemic changes required to truly level the playing field.

In this deep dive, I explore:

  • The Hidden Cost of Ambition: Why are women still grappling with the choice between ambition and self-doubt? I dissect the cultural narratives that force high-achieving women to "hide what we truly feel" and the mental load of navigating an unequal world.

  • The Motherhood Myth: The pervasive societal pressure that frames "success" and "care" as mutually exclusive choices. I share my experience as a mother and entrepreneur to challenge this false dichotomy and advocate for structures that support both family and professional growth.

  • The Power of Capital Allocation: As an investor, I track where the money flows—and where it doesn't. Who gets funded dictates the kind of future we build. I detail how conscious capital allocation is the most powerful tool for ensuring that future is diverse and equitable.

  • Equality as a Daily Practice: For me, gender equality is not an abstract policy; it’s a commitment to building better systems. We must move from dialogue to tangible action by creating teams, opportunities, and inclusive environments where every voice can thrive, every single day.
