Women. Power. Leadership.

Helping women gain power and use it well.

When women hold power and use it well, the world changes.

We live in a world shaped by power. Who has it. How it's used. What it builds and what it destroys.

My mission: help women gain power and use it well

I work primarily with founders, entrepreneurs, and senior leaders — helping them build businesses, create wealth and influence, and lead with integrity.

I believe women with power and the wisdom to use it are the greatest force for change we have.

Why this matters

When women hold power, everyone benefits. This isn't about women vs men. It's about what becomes possible when power is shared more broadly.

Women reinvest 90% of their income into families and communities. (UN)

1

Women-led startups generate 78 cents per dollar invested. (BCG)

2

Countries with more women in parliament have lower levels of corruption. (World Bank)

3

When women control income, more goes to children's health, nutrition, and education. (World Bank)

4

Peace agreements are 35% more likely to last when women are involved. (UN Women)

5

Better economic outcomes.
More lasting peace.
Thriving for all.
