Meet Claudia Reuter: Mom, Startup CEO, and Techstars Managing Director

The 43 Percent

Claudia Reuter left the workforce for about three years when she had kids and she re-entered it in a slightly unusual way: by starting a company. Like a lot of moms balancing family and career she spent many hours on important phone calls, worried her kids would burst through the door at any moment. Here she tells the story of one fateful call, made from the closet of her seven-year-old. It's just the sort of story you can expect to hear on this show, which moves past leaning in or leaning out to tell the more complex, nuanced stories of women creating lives that combine career and family.
