Corporate America is undergoing a positive trend in the number of women in the workforce over the past decades of course. Yes. There's even an increase in women in corporate executive positions. A recent study by Silicon Valley Bank found just 56 percent of startups have at least one woman in an executive position, and only 40 percent have at least one woman on the board of directors. The study also found that 59 percent of startups have some type of program in place designed to increase the number of women in leadership — and that the founding team’s gender often determines which executive roles women hold at startups. Quite interesting to say the least.
For this episode, I'm speaking with my special guest, corporate executive Megan Cornish. Megan is the Vice President of Government, Marketing, and Promise Virtual Reality (VR) at Moth+Flame. M+F is a provider of immersive learning experiences for enterprise scale customers across a range of verticals. We've learned about VR and artificial intelligence (AI) combined to make learning a truly interactive experience. Plus, Megan explains her path from working in the US congress, entering the business world, serving on various companies' board of directors, and her thoughts on girls and women who aspire to enter the corporate world and eventually into a "C-Suite" executive position.
