If Vice President Kamala Harris ascends to the Oval Office, it could have a rippling impact on women in business everywhere. Only two weeks into her presidential campaign, Harris has garnered overwhelming support from Democrats and narrowed former President Donald Trump's lead in swing states.
Having a woman as president, I think, normalizes what women's leadership looks like across everything, whether that's the private sector, public sector, education, labor, business, military. I think a lot becomes possible overnight.
In the business world, companies with female CEOs outperform those led by men, according to the World Economic Forum. The same is true for women-led hedge funds and women-led startups.
Those companies where women had a higher share in the board and in leadership were more likely to be profitable, and I think there's a clear connection to women in government. Women tend to bring those same skills, the ability to multitask, the ability to build networks, the ability to listen, which we hear a lot of times that women have a greater ability to do that.
