“In my career I have been lucky to work with some exceptional women, who approached decision making in an inclusive, productive, yet resolute fashion, which made them great leaders. I believe women in business add an entirely new dimension of perspective in problem solving and I welcome every opportunity to add that perspective to the teams we build at PCI Ventures portfolio companies.”
