There Is No Truth to Men Outperforming Women
Coco Brown, Founder and CEO Athena Alliance, talks about “loneliness at the top” which she experienced during her time leading the company Taos, an IT-services company. This spurred the genesis of a women’s dinner group which grew to 150 members and led to the formation of Athena Alliance. Though progress has been made, the numbers of women in C-suites, on corporate boards and those receiving venture capital funding are still too low. Coco believes women should invest in themselves during their careers, like men often do, by placing earnings toward wealth creation as well as spending for things like executive coaching and golf memberships. Coco talks about the tectonic shifts in business enabled by technology and instantaneous information---businesses are no longer driving what we want, customers are telling businesses what we want and expect.
