Private Equity Women Investor Network (PEWIN) recently launched an empowering campaign that addresses gender parity in the investment world.
The organization for senior female women leaders in private equity fields provides opportunities for members to "network, share ideas, make deep connections with peers, and empower each other to succeed." The organization also recognizes the importance of gender diversity within any industry or team and encourages consumers to ask their financial advisor, "What percentage of my portfolio is managed by female fund managers?"
Featuring prominent women from the world of finance -- including PEWIN co-CEOs Kelly Williams and Kate Mitchell -- the organization's powerful campaign is titled #HerWorth and looks to give more female leaders the confidence to succeed in a predominantly male-dominated industry.
