Marci Ien on the Rosenzweig Report

Having more women in business drives innovation, advances gender equality, and creates a stronger economy for all Canadians. The annual Rosenzweig Report shines a light on the existing gaps and educates business leaders, politicians, and society at large on the need to strive for greater gender equality. We know women face barriers when trying to grow or start a business, and Jay’s Report...

Pascal Siakam on the Rosenzweig Report

My mother and my older sisters all greatly impacted my upbringing. Their guidance helped me to where I am today. Women have a crucial part to play in the development of Cameroon, Africa, and across the world. They have been undervalued for far too long. Currently, my foundation is in the process of building girls-only programming that we plan to help fund for years to come. Lots still need...

Lilly Ledbetter on the Rosenzweig Report

Women have so much more to achieve, due to lack of opportunities! And progress is slow. But in this fight, we need allies.

Ten dollars can go even farther. What is so little for some can be a lot for others. At NEXUS, we believe in building networks and...

Ibrahim AlHusseini on the Rosenzweig Report

I am passionate about positive change, especially when it comes to the environment, women’s rights and humanity in general. I like to surround myself with change-makers who identify problems and set out to make things better. That’s why I invited Jay Rosenzweig to join the Advisory Board of our investment company FullCycle, which invests in climate restoration technologies aimed at reversing...

Shelley Zalis on the Rosenzweig Report

The numbers speak for themselves: Companies that are diverse are 75% more likely to bring innovative ideas to market and 70% more likely to capture new markets; companies with female leadership deliver 1.4x sustained profitable growth. Unfortunately, the pandemic has set women back – it will take an additional 36 years to close the global gender gap, bringing the total to 136 years, according...
