The world needs women’s compassion to create, communicate and care in ways that address issues through their bodies, mind, and spirits. When women see a problem, they see solutions, and they go about them by addressing the fundamental issues that can lead to the birthing of new systems in work, politics, and cultural structures.

We launched a program for women called ‘Wonder Founder’ because of every 50 applications for funding, only one or two were coming from firms founded by women. We want to raise awareness and tell women entrepreneurs that even if they’re not ready for outside investors, we want more women to come and work with us.

Our unique cosmetics company Rare Beauty was built with purpose at the center of the business, driven largely by our incredible founder, Selena Gomez. That purpose has always been addressing mental health and self-acceptance – something that far too many women struggle with.

BMO works boldly to champion initiatives, build community partnerships and drive innovation that accelerates sustainable progress for women. The BMO for Women program, which was established in 2016, is focused on gender parity for our clients, supporting the growth of women-owned businesses and…

For 25 years, I’ve seen women leaders – across cultures, countries and industries – use their power to empower others. When we make tangible, long-term investments in women’s leadership, we see collective progress. With allies like Jay Rosenzweig and tools like The Rosenzweig Report…

It’s incredibly important that we keep pushing women and diversity forward. Progress has been made but not nearly enough. The majority of capital is still managed by male private wealth managers. The majority of political decisions are still made by male politicians.

At World of Women, our mission is to build an inclusive future - starting with ensuring that representation and equity are part of the foundations of web3. Pushing forward the next generation of the web won’t happen overnight, and there are many challenges to overcome.

Increasingly organizations are recognizing the benefits of gender balanced leadership -access to a wider talent pool, improved decision making and the potential for increased performance. This is reflected in the milestone achieved this year with over 10% of top executive roles filled by women compared with…

At Hoot Reading, we are on a mission to unlock all children’s potential by enabling literacy as a human right through 1:1 teaching and learning at scale. I am grateful to Jay for the advisory work he does with us at Hoot Reading, as we work together to change lives through literacy, and to the Rosenzweig Report…

I’ve worked in male-dominated industries for nearly a decade - from practicing law, to investment banking, to venture capital and now in the digital assets space. I do feel that the old guard is being phased out in these new technology-driven industries, allowing for more women to rise and compete on a level playing field.

Having been in the digital content space for the past two decades, launching my own digital publisher, What’s Trending, it’s incredible to see a new form of disruption around the creator economy in Web3. This time though, it’s not just around taking power over our community but our ownership and equity.

Web3 is creating an amazing opportunity for people everywhere. The space brings equality, inclusivity, and the opportunity for people to have financial resources, through the digital economy, since it’s a pier-to-pier platform, with no middle man.

The most successful business leaders aren’t focused on profit. They’re focused on purpose. At the heart of the Rosenzweig Report is the commitment of Jay and his team to continue to document the need for gender and racial diversity, equity and inclusion in the leadership of Canadian corporations.

I did not have a straight path to the C-Suite. It took many twists, turns and set-backs. However, I learnt over the years to keep moving forward and face all challenges and obstacles with a smile. I was continuously told what I could not do, rather than what I could do.

Leadership is listening. Leadership is learning. Leadership is uplifting. The power of voice is the greatest influence on Earth. Empowering the voice of others is our greatest impact. When we integrate quantum physics in entrepreneurship, we recognize the infinite possibility of all outcomes. Visionary thinking requires creativity, imagination and…

Jay’s work as a philanthropist and social justice fighter is unparalleled. The elite community of thought leaders that support him are a direct result of his impact across the globe. He has become not just a mentor to me, but a brother.

Overcoming cultural biases against women in leadership roles has long been a formidable challenge. I remember back at university, if you had any kind of leadership drive, you had to work much harder than your male peers to be taken seriously.

Innovation starts by acknowledging that the status quo is unsustainable, then taking action. Transformations don't happen overnight, as Jay Rosenzweig knows from 20 years of fighting for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, understanding that change is a gradual process.

The path to changing people's ideas about Africa starts in our grocery shelves and in our homes. Whether recognizing that coffee was born in Ethiopian and that 18 countries in Africa produce some of the world’s best coffee or that cocoa from Cote d’Ivoire and…

Studies show entry level job pipelines contain roughly equal numbers of men and women. Unfortunately, as the talent funnel approach the C-Suite, the ratio of women to men drops sharply. Women have less money at every age than men do; are still paid less than men for comparable work; fill more than two thirds of part time jobs; and…
