Diversity and equality are essential to a company’s success. Research has shown that companies with a diverse workforce are 35% more likely to experience greater financial returns than their non-diverse counterparts, and 70% more likely to capture new markets and a bigger audience.

When I first met Jay Rosenzweig at the NBA All-Star game in Toronto in 2016, he and his team had already been publishing the annual Rosenzweig Report on Women in leadership for more than a decade. And he’s still at it today – through maddeningly slow corporate progress, a global pandemic, and international upheaval.

Let’s get this straight… Women’s rights are human rights. But there’s zero doubt that this group has unique challenges their counterparts don’t. You would expect this working in tech and sports but it’s pervasive in all industries, even cosmetics and fashion.

I am passionate about making the lives of each and every individual on this planet physically, mentally, spiritually healthy through proper nutrition and care. Jay Rosenzweig is also passionate about making our world a healthier place.

If you are passionate about something, pursue it. My father was fond of telling me that ‘if you’re passionate, hard work always pays off.’ It might not pay off immediately, but it garners a return on energy investment. For almost 20 years, Jay Rosenzweig has been passionate about enhancing diversity and gender equality in society.

Jay Rosenzweig is an investor and a valuable advisor. He is not only a believer in blockchain technology and Web3, he is a staunch supporter of women founders and having the best people in place, regardless of gender, ethnicity or anything else.

Empowering women in leadership isn't just about checking a box, it's about unlocking the full potential of our teams and our world. Diversity is the key to unlocking innovation and progress, and women bring unique perspectives and skills to the table that are essential for success.

Progress starts when we have the courage to not only speak up about inequities but we also act to change what we know to be unjust. Jay Rosenzweig, who we so value as an advisor here at Community, takes action through The Rosenzweig Report.

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.
