Welcome to this special edition of Disruptive CEO Nation, where we celebrate International Women’s Day by honoring the trailblazing female founders and executives shaking up the business world. In today’s episode, we are spotlighting the achievements and challenges facing women in entrepreneurship and leadership.
Here's a brief overview of what we discussed:
- Highlighting Female Founders: We pay homage to Katie Sturino, founder of Megababe, whose innovative products tackle everyday issues for women, provide a shout-out to other female founders who are leading the way, and encourage listeners to nominate outstanding female founders for future podcast features.
- Understanding International Women’s Day: Delving into the history and significance of International Women’s Day and tracing its origins from the women's rights movements of the 19th century to its current theme of "Invest in women: Accelerate progress."
- Women in Government and Business: Exploring the importance of representation in government and business, noting milestones in women's political participation and the ongoing challenges they face in achieving gender parity.
- Gender Disparities in Business Leadership: Discussing the gender gap in corporate leadership, including statistics on women in the workforce versus women in senior leadership positions, and highlighting the importance of gender diversity for business performance.
As we celebrate the achievements of women in business, let’s also recognize the work that still needs to be done to achieve true gender equality in the entrepreneurial landscape.
