In this special birthday edition of Decomposing Venture, Seann Richardson, Partner and Co-Founder of Ascentria Search Partners, brings together a panel of exceptional female leaders to explore the evolving role of women in business. The landscape has changed dramatically since 1974— a time when women were only beginning to gain equal access to credit, financial independence and greater workplace protections.  Today, nearly 42% of all businesses in the U.S. are women owned, according to Forbes. Join us for this rich and candid  conversation where we will celebrate the barriers women have broken through, while closely examining the challenges that still shape entrepreneurship, leadership and access to opportunity.
