My guest today is impact investor and serial-entrepreneur Tess Mateo, who has made her mission in life to accelerate women empowerment globally through the Equality Moonshot initiative. Tess derives her prowess from two decades of corporate restructuring and turnaround expertise as well as from her advisory experience with the United Nations on Gender and Climate, and the Word Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), World Economic Forum, and many others. In this interview, we address questions such as: · Why are governments and corporations now seeking to source from women vendors? · What are the unique values that women-owned businesses bring to the table that traditional businesses cannot? · How do female entrepreneurs accelerate sustainable development? · How can the private and public sectors help women-owned businesses scale fast?
