Tina contributed to the report “Closing the gender investment gap for a more resilient innovative inclusive and balanced economy” by The Knowledge4Innovation Forum, Collabwith and The Wominvest Observatory.
Her thoughts in a nutshell:
First: Lean in on where the money comes from - the parties committing the funding sources including PEs, VCs but also public sources are in pool-position to have an impact on the role and senior representation of women both in their organization but also the companies they fund.
Second: In order to do so they need to overcome unconscious biases in their decision making process and understand and believe in the benefits of having and funding more diverse teams.
Third: We need to foster diversity in the workplace and live it from the top including both critical mass as well as senior representation in the boardroom and below.
