International Women's Day 2022

This year marks 6 years since Mine The Gap was founded. We started this company because we felt that there was a deep lack of understanding about how the imbalance of women in leadership roles impacts the success and growth of companies. Beyond business success, the lack of women in leadership also affects funding that moves between the private and public sectors — impacting the acceleration and support for women to access positions of power.

As our company has grown, our work has also grown to more fully build diverse workplaces across industries and to focus on the wide range of underrepresented groups that leadership teams have too often overlooked. We work with companies and organizations to help their leadership develop inclusive leadership skills — a practice that serves everyone better. We have advised major initiatives, corporate boards, the C-Suite and leadership teams, and vast range of organizational leaders across sectors both in the U.S. and around the globe to rise to the occasion and make change within their own context.

As we mark another International Women’s Day, we pay particular attention to the women of Ukraine and Afghanistan. We have worked with women leaders in both countries. Their vision and skills are so desperately needed to help their countries. We are humbled by their dedication to living freely to pursue their dreams, in the face of tragedy and violence. 

We will continue to build more inclusive, supportive, and balanced workplaces — where all people, particularly women, can thrive. Thank you for your interest in our work, partnership, and support.

Happy International Women’s Day!
