#IWD2021: Leadership in a Time of Crisis

evolution is a podcast shining light on our ecosystem’s stories of innovation, impact and hustle throughout their venture building journey. Join us as we build community and knowledge related to entrepreneurship during the course of COVID-19. 

Leadership in a time of crisis: As women stand on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, both the strength of their contributions and disproportionate burdens they carry, amplify the significant gaps in gender equality. Who are the leaders in our communities we can draw inspiration from and how are they leading in their organizations, institutions and communities?

Adapted from our International Women’s Day event, #IWD2021: Leadership in a Time of Crisis, we present to you an inspiring discussion unpacking the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women entrepreneurs, leaders and innovators and learn how we, as an ecosystem, can move forward and take action. Featuring Kristina Bergman, Partner, Pender Ventures, Rohene Bouajram, Associate Director, Strategic IBPOC (Indigenous, Black and/or People of Colour) Initiatives at UBC, Nazneen Damji, Policy Advisor, Gender Equality, HIV, and Health, UN Women, and Michelle Sklar, Head of Brand and Marketing and EIR, entreprneurship@UBC.
