This podcast is about an amazing woman and her journey from Wall Street to Purpose-Driven Leadership. Meet India Gary-Martin's and listen to her amazing journey to Chair the Women Business Collaborative (WBC). On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the great pleasure of speaking with India Gary Martin—an accomplished global executive, entrepreneur, and now the new Chair of the Women Business Collaborative (WBC). India's story is more than a professional journey—it's an inspiring narrative about opportunity, resilience, and leadership rooted in purpose. A Global Journey Rooted in Advocacy India began her career with ambitions far from Wall Street—initially pursuing drama at Spelman College, an all-women's institution that helped shape her lifelong commitment to advancing women. A pivot to business led her to Wall Street, where she spent nearly 25 years rising through the ranks and across borders, holding CEO and CTO roles in major financial institutions. Her global career took her to London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, all while raising a family and nurturing a growing passion for justice and equity. Through it all, India remained grounded in one core belief: opportunity emerges when you stay open to change. Her career was not meticulously planned but rather built through taking chances—ones that would later translate into entrepreneurial ventures and global leadership roles. From Banking to Beauty: The Entrepreneurial Chapter India's foray into entrepreneurship was sparked not only by her desire to chart her own path but by a wake-up call. After returning from a business trip, her young daughter barely recognized her. It was a moment of reckoning—and renewal. What followed was a bold leap: the launch of a green nail polish line that grew from two retail shops in London to 300 stores across Europe and the Middle East, including Harvey Nichols and Space NK. But success is never linear. Brexit disrupted the business, scaring off investors and forcing India to shut it down. “It was the hardest thing I've ever done,” she told me, “but I learned how to pivot, and that failure isn't failure—it's just learning.” Her next chapter returned her to her roots in leadership. With Leadership for Execs and Lucent Learning, India created scalable coaching and leadership development platforms for companies, governments, and nonprofits. She also launched Act Three, a community designed to support women in midlife transition. Each venture reflects her holistic vision of leadership: adaptive, inclusive, and deeply human. Carrying Forward a Vision: Honoring Edie Fraser The Women Business Collaborative (WBC), which India now chairs, was founded by the remarkable Edie Fraser, a visionary leader in her own right. Edie had a bold and clear mission: to accelerate progress for women in business by uniting the efforts of organizations, corporations, and individuals under a single collaborative umbrella. She recognized that too many were working in silos—fighting the same battles for equal pay, position, and power. Edie's vision was both simple and powerful: we can go farther, faster, together. Her leadership transformed a concept into a movement, building a platform that now connects over 80 partner organizations, dozens of corporate champions, and countless advocates committed to equity. India Gary Martin steps into this legacy with both reverence and readiness, taking WBC into its next chapter of impact. You will enjoy watching our podcast with India here: Why WBC, Why Now? India's appointment as Chair of the Women Business Collaborative couldn't have come at a more important time. As she told me, “WBC has a tremendous opportunity right now to be a beacon for women in business. It's not just about convening—it's about shaping the future.” With over 80 partner organizations, sponsors, and donors, WBC stands at the forefront of driving change. India brings to it not just experience, but a deeply reflective, philosophical approach to leadership. She believes that collaboration doesn't mean compromising your mission—it means amplifying what unites us. “I don't believe in pushing the boulder uphill,” she said. “We do this with ease because it's who we are. It's how we operate.” Leading by Redesigning the Container One of the most profound insights India shared during our conversation was about the importance of culture in shaping behavior. “People behave as the container creates,” she explained. Rather than focusing on fixing people, she argues, organizations should focus on fixing the environment in which they operate. This anthropological lens is close to my heart. Culture isn't changed with a program or a policy—it's transformed through trust, relationships, and the daily experiences that shape how people feel and behave. As India noted, work has become transactional. We must bring it back to being relational. A Call to Community As we wrapped up our conversation, India left listeners with three powerful takeaways: You are not alone. Find your tribe. WBC is one of them. Opportunity is everywhere. Even the stormiest moments will pass—every storm runs out of rain. We are better together. None of the changes we seek can happen in isolation. Collaboration is not a strategy—it's a necessity. India also shared her excitement for the upcoming Women's Capital Summit in New York City on May 21–22. This event is all about connecting women founders with funders—and building the future of shared success. “Founders and funders, please come out,” she urged. “This is a real moment for us.” Final Thoughts India Gary Martin's story reminds us that the path to leadership isn't always straight—but it is always full of opportunity if we stay open. She embodies the power of living with purpose, leading with vision, and building together.

Should you bet on women CEOs? In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Patricia Lizarraga, Managing Partner of Hypatia Capital and the driving force behind the WCEO ETF, the first exchange-traded fund dedicated to investing in publicly traded U.S. companies led by female CEOs. We explore a fascinating question: Do companies led by women perform better? Patricia shares compelling data that suggests they do—and explains why. With decades of experience in finance and investment banking, she witnessed firsthand how women in leadership positions frequently faced greater obstacles in their ascent to the top. The result? Many of them are extraordinarily resilient and effective leaders. This episode isn't just about investing; it's about shifting the narrative around leadership, success, and financial empowerment. If you're interested in supporting diversity in corporate leadership while making smart investment decisions, this conversation is for you. What You'll Learn • Why companies led by female CEOs often outperform and what the data says • How investing in women-led businesses can create long-term impact • The ripple effect of leadership diversity and why it benefits everyone—not just women • How the WCEO ETF makes it easy to invest in companies with female CEOs • Patricia's personal journey and what she's learned about taking ownership of her career Why This Matters Despite the progress made, women still hold only a small percentage of CEO positions in major corporations. Yet research consistently shows that diversity in leadership leads to better financial performance, stronger company culture, and greater innovation. Patricia's work is not just about creating investment opportunities; it's about normalizing female leadership and giving more women a seat at the table. Episode Quote "If you want your daughter to enter the workforce without her hands tied behind her back after you just spent half a million dollars to send her to college, it behooves you for there to be more women CEOs." – Patricia Lizarraga How to Learn More and Invest To learn more about Patricia and the WCEO ETF, visit wceoetf.com.

In this anniversary episode of This Is Ag!, I sat down with Chana Hauben, our Vice President of Human Resources, to reflect on the remarkable culture we've built at UnitedAg and celebrate four years of the podcast. Our conversation explored the heart of what makes UnitedAg not just a great place to work but a unique environment for personal and professional growth.At UnitedAg, we've more than tripled our financial growth over the past decade all the while maintaining the innovative, energetic spirit of a startup. Chana and I discussed how this growth has been driven by intentional culture-building, starting with empathy, collaboration, and creativity. These values are central to everything we do, from hiring passionate and proactive people to fostering innovation at all levels.Initiatives like the Emerging Leaders Program, the Ag-a-thon, and our CULTIVATE values recognition system create opportunities for growth and connection. Our onboarding process, transformed into a comprehensive and immersive experience, ensures new hires feel supported and inspired from the start.A standout moment was celebrating our recent recognition as one of the best places to work in Orange County. This honor symbolizes the dedication and care we pour into creating a positive, people-first environment. It's also a reflection of Chana's exceptional leadership in fostering an inclusive, innovative, and empowering culture.For me, UnitedAg has always been a "lab" where we experiment with ideas—not just for business growth but for human connection. Every day is an opportunity to grow a little more, to connect on a deeper level, and to lead with empathy.

In a recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kimber Maderazzo, a remarkable leader whose journey through the Beauty and Cosmetics industry is nothing short of inspiring. Kimber's story is one of perseverance, talent, and an unyielding drive to succeed despite daunting challenges. A Journey of Innovation and Leadership Kimber's career spans over 25 years in the Beauty and Cosmetics industry, a field where she has worn many hats—from starting out at a makeup counter at the age of 14 to eventually finding herself in the boardroom of the world's leading acne brand. Her path was not linear or easy, but it was driven by a clear vision and a love for what she does. Kimber has consistently delivered innovation-driven revenue growth throughout her career in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Fortune-ranked companies. She has successfully defended against industry giants with significantly larger budgets, staged an 8-point market share comeback, and modernized business models to resonate with younger audiences, resulting in a nine-digit top-line impact. These achievements are not just numbers on a balance sheet—they are milestones that reflect Kimber's deep understanding of market dynamics and her ability to anticipate and adapt to changes. One of the most notable aspects of Kimber's career is her success in developing global expansion strategies, particularly in the lucrative Mexican and Chinese markets. This international perspective indicates Kimber's broader approach to business—one that is calculated, focused, and always focused on the long-term impact. If you prefer to watch our podcast, click here: Finding Your Way at Every Stage in Your Life's Journey While many in the business world often rush to achieve academic credentials early in their careers, Kimber's journey was different. She earned her MBA in her 40s, long after she had already begun making significant contributions to her industry. Kimber's journey is a powerful reminder that success is not tied to a specific timeline. Her experience shows that talent, hard work, and a willingness to take calculated risks can propel you forward, even if you need to follow the traditional path. Kimber's story particularly resonates with those who may feel like they are "late bloomers." Her message is clear: it is never too late to pursue your goals, and you should always appreciate the value of your experiences, no matter when they occur in your life.
