Suzanne Biegel, a pioneer of gender lens investing, is on a mission to show that focusing on women makes for good financial and social returns. She speaks with News Deeply about the language challenge, the trouble with data, and the importance of connecting people.
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND – Just 20 years ago, few people had heard the term “gender lens investing.” Today, interest in the concept is picking up pace, with growing numbers of investors and companies looking for ways to close the gender gap in areas such as finance, health and education.
Suzanne Biegel has been working in the field almost since the beginning – she remembers a time when much of her day was spent simply trying to convince people that women were worth investing in. Now, as founder of the consultancy Catalyst At Large and as senior gender lens investing adviser at the Wharton Business School, she is at the forefront of the quest to find ways to make money work harder for women and girls.
