She is Co-Founder of The Billion Dollar Fund for Women, a global consortium of venture funds that have now pledged to invest and are actively deploying beyond $1 billion towards women-founded companies, to begin to address the venture investment gap where women founders receive less than 3% of total VC funding. Going Beyond The Billion (BTB), her mission is now to catalyze capital deployed to these venture funds, ensuring their continued capacity to invest. BTB now has 5 female-founded unicorns invested by our partner funds: Canva, Airwallex, Guild Education, EverlyWell, Classpass. Previously, she pioneered a corporate venture capital unit within $13Bn publicly traded Asian conglomerate, Sime Darby, investing in later-stage biotechnology companies.
