The investment landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift, says Jacob Bleicher, CFA, creator of the Carson Women’s CEO Strategy. Investors want to harmonize their portfolios with their values, and thematic investing is one powerful way to do that. Both men and women want to champion gender equity through thematic investing. And we wanted to give them an option to do that—not by investing in companies with only one woman on the board, but by investing in only companies with women CEOs. Both because: ⭐ Companies with women CEOs perform better; and ⭐ To inspire a future where there are more female leaders. “I was inspired by my daughter to create the WCEO Strategy,” Jake said. “My goal was to spotlight women in the highest echelons of leadership so that one day, girls will grow up in a world without glass ceilings, or any ceilings, to become the leaders they aspire to be.” Read Jake’s blog post for a deeper dive into our Women’s CEO Fund: https://lnkd.in/g_HrFWFq #InspiringInclusion

How are we half way through our Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) journey already🤯 I first heard about the U.S Embassy AWE Network last year when I was in the U.S, and 3 months later, I received an invitation to join this incredible network. Three months into this journey, I've had the privilege to hear some of the most authentic business lessons from all the empowering leaders ❤️🔥 #1️⃣: In every business that you build, your why must serve something that’s bigger than yourself. Keep asking yourself if you’re solving a real problem, and are you having a real solution? And ask if your solution is adding real value to your problem #2️⃣: Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Unless your employees are enthusiastic about your company’s vision, they won’t put much effort into executing your strategy. And most of it is created unknowingly by the founders🤯 #3️⃣:The first step of all steps is your first step,and the first thing of all things is self-development. So if you ever feel stuck, return to the first thing—invest in developing yourself. #4️⃣: When it’s exhausting but not depleting, that’s when you know you’re right on track on your entrepreneurial journey Sharing nuggets above from Uma Thana Balasingam ,Priyali Kamath, Cecilia Tan, Wendy Chua ❤️ You women are amazing! Thank you for having me U.S. Embassy Singapore and Wand Inspiration🪄 Onwards and upwards✨ #womenleadership #entrepreneurship #womenfounders
Thank you to Procter & Gamble for hosting the U.S. Embassy Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE)!

This Women's History Month, we're celebrating the achievements of the women in our office. We're reflecting on the progress we’ve made as a company, and we're being incredibly intentional about where we’re heading in the DEI space. Just under 50% of the financial advisors that joined our local Northwestern Mutual – Edina and Minneapolis offices this past year were women – and though we’re working toward increasing that percentage – this was progress and definitely no accident. It’s our commitment to ensure that Northwestern Mutual – Edina is the place that women choose to join, stay, and grow their businesses. Our Chief Strategy Officer, Aditi Javeri Gokhale said it best, “The future of women in finance is not just about a head count; it’s about making a meaningful impact: creating a level playing field where women can shape experiences and drive business outcomes.” If you’re exploring (or thinking about exploring) career options or are interested in a conversation, please watch the attached video, and send me or Haley Hubbard, CPA a direct message! #WomensHistoryMonth2024 #womeninhistory #womeninfinance

Today, for Women’s History Month, we are highlighting Wendi Halpryn, A|P’s Performance Analyst. Can you share a significant challenge you've overcome in your career that highlights your resilience or pioneering spirit as a woman in your field? How do you believe your journey paves the way for future generations of women in the industry? Completing my MBA in real estate as Summa Cum Laude while working was a monumental challenge and achievement. This journey, rare for women in my field, has already enriched my professional skills and contributions to Atlantic Pacific Companies. My experience demonstrates the value of continued education and self-accountability, aiming to inspire other women to pursue further knowledge for their career advancement. Who is a woman that has significantly influenced or inspired your career path, and how have their achievements or support helped shape your professional journey? My mother, the cornerstone of my personal and professional development, instilled in me the virtues of hard work, perseverance, and resilience. Her support encouraged me to pursue my goals at Atlantic Pacific Companies, teaching me patience and grace in overcoming professional challenges. Her influence is a guiding light, encouraging me to impart similar values to others. Looking ahead, what changes or advancements do you hope to see for women in your industry or field in the next decade, and how do you plan to contribute to that vision? In the next decade, I hope for more advancements for women in real estate, aiming for a more inclusive and diverse industry. At Atlantic Pacific Companies, where diversity and respect are paramount, I feel empowered and equal. I plan to contribute by fostering connections, sharing insights, and encouraging women to join and lead in our field, promoting a culture of empowerment and collaboration.

Only 1% of US businesses earn venture capital backing, and just 2% of those have female-only founders. CNBC journalist Julia Boorstin’s book, “When Women Lead,” provides a compelling look at female leaders. At AV, especially through our Women’s Fund, we are committed to supporting and celebrating these transformative leaders: https://lnkd.in/eSKUSayg.
