Romy is highly motivated to bring better performance and productivity to our companies and our country by making the workplace work better for women.

We had a wide-ranging discussion that included Fairygodboss’ origin story, and how the pandemic has affected gender equality; highlighting the mass exodus of women from the workforce.
It was a really enjoyable, timely discussion and we hope you enjoy it.
