Love a caricature!However the subject matter is really serious - how long are we going to have to put up with men in power deciding that women can’t cope with the hours and conditions of work in funds management! What rubbish! Has COVID taught us nothing re flexible/remote work?

Been presenting my Series A cap raise deck to an audience of 27 people (PE Firms, fam offices) over the last 2-3 weeks. Only 2 have been female. I’ve been shocked by the lack of females in the space. Where are all the female fund managers?🤷‍♀️

Today I’m going to Sydney ✈️ 🥳

“How is it that..only 1 of 23 new CEOs appointed to a major company during the 20/21 year was a woman?..This despite being ranked number 1 in the world for women’s education. For every 100 women enrolled at uni there are only 72 men, & yet women continue to earn less than men.”

Got it today and celebrated with a kebab. I love a booster ❤️❤️❤️

Any good reads/listens on scaling tech businesses, etc. I should listen to next week while I fang around at a friends farm for a few days?

A moment of rest on a beautiful day, but I can’t stop thinking about Ukraine, how my grandparent’s lives were devastated by an invader (Hitler) and how much better this world would be without these patriarchal warmongers. Would like to see women run the show for a while, thanx.
