TaskHer

As we wind down on 2024, I'd be remiss not to reflect on what the last year has taught me. The deepest and most profound impact comes from daring to take the path that scares you most. After 12 years driving growth and transformation at Amazon, I stepped into a new chapter focused on using my voice and experience to help build a more inclusive, sustainable future. Some moments that filled me with purpose this year: • Supporting young innovators tackling global challenges through my work as an Advisory Board member to Social Shifters • Investing in women as an Angel Investor and advisor supporting amazing founders including OVUM, TaskHer, ChicP | B Corp™, and Pioneering People Ltd. • Becoming a founding member of Women Leaders Forum UK, creating spaces for senior women leaders to elevate their impact and investing in my own development attending the 'Tune Out to Tune In' leadership retreat. • Accelerating my path towards a parallel board career and next opportunities by joining networks of amazing professionals including NEDonBoard, Virtual Advisory Board (VAB), Institute of Directors (IoD), the D2 collective, VOCASO, and Women on Boards UK . • Achieving UK citizenship - a journey that's taken me from Minnesota to London, across 40+ countries, and taught me how truly connected our world is Three posts that captured pivotal moments: "Of all that I had the opportunity to do, I'm most proud to have had the privilege to lead, learn from, and be surrounded by amazing people" On concluding my Amazon journey after 4,350 day ones https://lnkd.in/ebPJ5EhT "Your world is as big as you make it, but the bigger you make it, the smaller you'll find it is" On becoming a UK citizen and embracing global perspectives https://lnkd.in/e_BVdtqx "Closing the gender gap could increase the global GDP by 20%" From UN Women's Commission on the Status of Women, UN Women UK CSW68 delegate https://lnkd.in/ePXE8RNJ I've learned that true transformation isn't about having all the answers - it's about creating spaces where everyone can bring their whole selves and contribute their unique gifts. Whether working with Centre for Synchronous Leadership "Agents of Change" think tank on Tech/Climate/Geopolitics, speaking on the impact and importance of responsible AI and DEI, or serving as an advisor to non-profits and emerging founders, the power of authentic connection continues to inspire me. Looking ahead: 2025 will be about expanding support for women and underrepresented founders, securing my first NED role, and landing my next executive role with a purpose driven organisation. To every leader working to build a more inclusive, sustainable, better world: your voice matters and your perspective is needed. The challenges are immense, but so is our collective potential. Let's keep building paths for others as we climb.
