EVENT DETAILS |
Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, & Tech:NYC invite you to join us for the latest installment of the Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg Speaker Series, featuring Carolyn Childers, CEO & Co-founder of Chief, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television.
Only 6.6 percent of the companies on this year's Fortune 500 list had female CEOs. Carolyn Childers co-founded Chief to address this gender disparity in executive leadership by providing women with the support & connections to help them advance in their careers. A private network for rising vice presidents to C-level executives, Chief offers its members mentorship opportunities, coaching sessions, events, & other resources, including access to a members-only clubhouse in TriBeCa.
Since its launch in January of 2019, Chief has grown to include 1,500 members, who represent 1,000 companies, such as Apple, Nike, Amazon, & Google. It has another 7,000 women on its membership waitlist. It raised $22 million in a Series A round led by General Catalyst & Inspired Capital and, this spring, Chief plans to open a new five-story, 20,000-square foot location in the Flatiron district.
We hope you'll join us for this conversation, in which Childers & Fu will discuss Chief's mission & rapid growth, how running operations at Handy & working in venture capital prepared Childers to launch the organization, why its exclusive membership is also open to men, & what we can all do to help more women reach the C-suite.
