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!

On The Pod
Every week, I share stories of women and men who are taking action and innovating to advance equality in the workplace and beyond on my podcast, The Fix: Your Gender Equality Playbook.
You’ll hear from Sarah Jessica Parker, Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, Megyn Kelly, Justin Baldoni, Wade Davis and Katty Kay to name a few.
My Book Corner
I am writing a book, which is being published by Atria (Simon and Schuster), in March 2020. The book covers why the ‘fix women’ approach doesn’t work and how each of us can champion gender equality at work.

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.
