In the tech and financial sectors, traditionally dominated by men, change is happening, and at Bilderlings, that change is not just evident—it's making a difference. 🚀 At Bilderlings, we're proud to say that our commitment to empowering women isn't just a statement; it's a reality reflected in our workforce. Out of our 117 dedicated employees, 60 are women. This isn't just about having women on the team; it's about valuing what they bring to the table—innovation, leadership, and a unique perspective that enriches our company. More significantly, women at Bilderlings aren't just part of the team; they're leading it. Several of our key leadership roles are held by women, showcasing not just our commitment to gender diversity but also to creating a space where women's leadership is recognized, celebrated, and nurtured. This International Women's Day, we want to do more than just offer congratulations. We want to acknowledge the strength, intelligence, and creativity of women everywhere. Happy International Women's Day—here's to empowering women today, and every day. 🚀

One of my favorite months is coming up… Women’s History Month (and International Women’s Day)! 🎉 Themes for this year: Inspire inclusion, and celebrate the women who advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion. As someone who: ✔️ Raised and is raising strong accomplished young women ✔️ Invests in multiple ways to rise other women up ✔️ Launched Leap Consulting Solutions leveraging my platform to support women through things like #womencrushwednesday celebrating women in our industry ✔️ Co-authored Together We Rise (along with 14 other female Lady Leaders in the staffing industry) where I recount pivotal moments in my life and struggles to rise up and stand out in an industry with few women at its highest ranks… ✔️ Created "THE PLEDGE" : "One deliberate act a day to help another woman rise." I understand first-hand how important it is to celebrate the strides made by women who are paving the way for those who follow. I remain committed to sharing stories that inspire, encourage and support other women and all allies to rise up the underrepresented. And, a big piece of spreading that message is to “take the stage” wherever possible. Which leads me to ⬇️ If you’re looking for an authentic speaker to share strategies and successes of how to navigate the corporate world — we’re here for you. 🙋♀️ You can learn more about me and the other 14 authors behind “Together We Rise” and book one or several of us as a speaker for your next event at leadyleadersbookclub.com. Whether for Women’s History Month, an International Women’s Day event or a company kick-off, leadership meeting, client event, sales kick-off, ERG, industry conference, and much more, lean on us to deliver a message that resonates with everyone and leads with a bias for action. The Lady Leaders have been all over the country in person and the virtual world, delivering impactful messages, and we can’t wait to continue to share our journeys. Here are a few of the events I have coming up. Let me know if I’ll see you! #WomensHistoryMonth #SpeakingEngagements #LadyLeaders #Keynote #TogetherWeRise #PowerRising #WomeninStaffing

People often ask why we focus on female founders. The answer? Women still make up just 6% of outdoor and active lifestyle brands. With fewer than 20% of C-suite roles in the outdoor industry held by women (well below the 28% general average), it’s time to celebrate the trailblazers who are breaking through. Poppy is gender-inclusive, and everyone is welcome! But our panels and speakers will always feature women+ with microphones. Our mission is to give women a platform to share their work, experience, and wisdom.   Join us as we elevate these inspiring women! 🌲🚀 https://lu.ma/3ravc81j

👩💼 October is Women in Sales Month! We asked Antina Sommer, our Senior Sales Enablement Manager, about the evolving role of women in the sales industry and the changes she’d love to see. In the video below, Antina shares her thoughts on the positive shift she’s seeing: more women stepping into sales and leadership roles, challenging the traditional narrative of a male-dominated field. With a growing focus on diversity, inclusion, and work-life balance, the sales industry is evolving into a space where women can thrive both personally and professionally 🙌 Don’t miss her inspiring insights and join the conversation! And to all the incredible women in sales: Happy Women in Sales Month! 💪 #WomenInSales #DiversityInSales #SalesLeadership #WomenInBusiness #Dealfront

“Getting a seat at the table is not enough,” said Jean Lau Chin, EdD, the first Asian American psychologist to be licensed in Massachusetts and a pioneer in advocating for more diversity in leadership, during her 2016 TEDx Talk. “It’s time for women and diverse leaders to be at the head of the table if we’re going to have a future moving forward together.” The truth is that representation matters. But true impact comes when women are not just present—they lead the conversation, make decisions, and drive change. In a world that’s evolving rapidly, women's leadership isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity for sustainable progress. Women bring unique perspectives, empathy, and resilience to the table, qualities that are critical to solving complex global challenges. Whether running a company, managing a team, or navigating your career path, your leadership is vital to shaping the future. Now is the time for women to step up, support one another, and break the ceiling once and for all. Together, we can foster a culture where every woman has the opportunity to lead with confidence, courage, and conviction. Let's ask ourselves: 🔹 What can we do today to champion women's leadership? 🔹 How can we encourage the next generation of female leaders? With these thoughts in mind, I am exhilarated to invite all women leaders, pioneers, and change catalysts to join us for an ideation session happening #Today at 4 PM. It’s a chance to be part of something greater—a powerful, collective anthology on “Women in Leadership” that will inspire and shape the future.
