Equality is not just a core value at Salesforce. It is a fundamental part of our culture. It underscores our As a woman in leadership, woman of colour, and an immigrant to Canada, I’ve had a unique opportunity throughout my career to advocate for, and encourage, equity for women in the workplace, in leadership, and in business. Coming from a family of side hustlers and entrepreneurs, I have seen first-hand the undeniable challenges that entrepreneurs face, especially women. Our recent Intuit QuickBooks survey found that Canadian women-owned businesses face greater financial strain and more than a third report feeling out of depth at least once a week. Despite this, women business owners are chasing entrepreneurial success and expansion at the same rate as their male counterparts. This International Women’s Day, I want to tell women small business owners that we recognize the bold and fearless contributions they make to our communities and the economy. Know that myself, and the team at Intuit, are with you every step of the way.that businesses can be powerful platforms for social change and that it is our responsibility to further equality for all.
