Advancing women to
Writer. Advocate. Expert.
For nearly two decades, I’ve committed my life to helping women advance in their careers. I currently lead UN Women’s Global Innovation Coalition for Change and I’m an Advisory Board member for Girl Up, the United Nations Foundation’s adolescent girl campaign.
As a keynote speaker, researcher, writer and advocate, there’s one thing I won’t get tired of saying: Women already have everything they need to succeed at work. We just need to build the workplaces that champion women’s strengths. I regularly contribute to Forbes, Huffington Post and Thrive Global on the topic of women’s advancement at work and I’ve been published in Harvard Business Review and TIME magazine. Today, you’ll hear me on my weekly podcast, She Innovates, a show that shares the stories, challenges and triumphs of women across innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.
I created this platform so I can share my research, stories and conversations, all in one place.
Hope my work helps one, some or (just maybe) all of you!

My Book Corner
Here’s where I share updates on my upcoming book (slated to publish in spring 2020). Hint: The ‘fix women’ approach doesn’t work. I’ll tell you why we need to ditch it. Together.
I'll also share with you my favorite reads on gender equality, leadership, motherhood, self-care and many more!
We often tell girls that they are such a ‘good girl’ but we don’t say that to boys. Pretty soon good girl becomes perfect girl. That is when the issue of confidence comes in because you are never going to develop your confidence if you are trying to be perfect.
