CEO
I manage a social enterprise that provides stepping stones to change the lives of chronically unemployed women.
My main role as CEO is to think about the future of the business. I think about what our future will look like and how we might get there. I then bring in resources to support the company in realizing that future—that could mean supporting sales or fundraising. I also get to meet and spend time building relationships with all of the women who work for us. The third piece of my job is to help others within the organization do their jobs. That primarily means performing coaching or trainings.
