“Diversity drives a lot of value. The understanding of culture really impacts how astute you can be on the investment, and the conversation on the table becomes more powerful.”
How to do better: “The reason I run money today, that I had a good career at Goldman Sachs and I had the courage to build my own firm, is because of mentorship. The thrill of investing capital and being given more responsibility over time gave me the desire to try to be the best in this field. One of the most important things we can do is be mentors. For young women, seeing what they can become, makes them become.”
