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 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.
