As I have worked with early stage venture backed companies, I have seen the potential that can be achieved if women have support, education, and mentoring. I had these in developing my own career and am honored to assist others through CWE. Helping women to grow and develop, and become self-sustaining in whatever role they find themselves is essential. We can positively impact individuals, families, and communities by enabling women to attain economic success.
