Sophie Condie is the CEO of Shieldpay, a UK-based fintech company and a mother of three kids. Her first child, Reuben, was diagnosed with Joubert syndrome, a rare genetic brain disorder that affects his mobility and communication. Initially considering becoming a full-time mom due to Reuben's needs, Condie realized she needed to work for her mental health. She returned to her career with full-time childcare support, sharing responsibilities with her husband. Condie finds that raising a child with a disability has improved her resilience, enhancing her capabilities as a CEO.
Raising a child with a disability has taught me a new level of resilience, and it's helped me be a better CEO.
I made it clear I wanted to have my career as well when we started talking about having children.
