What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
CEO, Business Development, Product Management, Leader of a company. Almost everything that business needed.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Embrace Equity.” What does this mean to you? How can we build workplaces that are more equitable and inclusive?
Equality is a fundamental human value that ensures every individual is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their differences such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and so on.
As a female founder, I believe in creating a workplace that is equal and inclusive. It means creating an environment where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed, grow, and contribute to the company’s success. At A.V. Mapping, I have taken steps to establish a culture of respect and equality for all employees. I also encourage open communication and have implemented policies that promote work-life balance and flexibility. Opportunities for professional growth and advancement are provided to all employees, regardless of gender or other personal characteristics.
Building a more equitable and inclusive society involves taking a multi-faceted approach that encompasses business building, government policy, education, and more. Promoting equality and inclusiveness requires a concerted effort from all sectors of society. By working together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives, free from discrimination and prejudice.
Do you have any mentors or role models who have helped you on your personal journey?
First of all, my family, they are all business men/women. Every time when I am struggling with some problems, it turns not a real problem for them.

The past few years have brought many new and unprecedented challenges. What keeps you motivated or inspires you to stay optimistic?

Pledge 1% helps companies of all sizes and stages leverage their assets for social good. Why do you think it’s important that companies prioritize social impact? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
The impact that businesses have on society extends far beyond their financial performance. Companies can be powerful forces for good, using their resources and influence to make positive change in their communities and the world. By prioritizing social impact, companies can not only create a better world, but they can also strengthen their brand and build long-term relationships with their stakeholders, including customers, employees, and investors.
For example, A.V. Mapping is making the equality for the creations. Not because of the fame or reputation from the musicians but the music and creations themselves which should be measured into more revenue. So that, good creations lasting, and accelerating the creative process into society, to bring on more positive social impact. By focusing on social impact, companies can drive positive change in the world and build a better future for all.

Liz Rhodes
COO, Art of Cloud
Liz Rhodes, COO, Art of Cloud
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
Ensuring the success of the team and business by supporting both my colleagues and all our customers to achieve the best results possible.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Embrace Equity.” What does this mean to you? How can we build workplaces that are more equitable and inclusive?
Look beyond the obvious. We pro-actively support the alternative options and look for what each person can bring to the table which may not be paper qualifications but life experience, not a first class degree but a mind full of ideas, you may not be outwardly vocal but can express yourself through mind maps. I personally see a huge part of my role is helping people see their talents as we see them and leveraging them for growth at their own personal rate. One person may want letters after their name for others recognition and thank yous make them tick – by encouraging and embracing inclusivity and creating a culture of affirmation and equality for all ideas and opinions it allows everyone an opportunity to grow.
Do you have any mentors or role models who have helped you on your personal journey?
Lots – friends who inspire me, family who have taught me self belief and love, my colleagues now and in the past who I learn from every day. My teenage daughters whose outlook on life gives me a new perspective. There is something to learn from everyone who crosses our paths in life be they on our life train for one stop or the whole journey.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
No is a complete sentence , you don’t need to justify it.
The past few years have brought many new and unprecedented challenges. What keeps you motivated or inspires you to stay optimistic?
The everyday differences and challenges are always a chance to learn something or make a change. Even the hard days don’t last and you come out the other side knowing something new
Pledge 1% helps companies of all sizes and stages leverage their assets for social good. Why do you think it’s important that companies prioritize social impact? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
I think it’s so important to get involved, if everyone looks the other way communities don’t change, society doesn’t move forward and being part of a bigger whole is a good feeling. At Art of Cloud we have worked with local community groups and charities – we work closely with a local bed poverty charity, Zarach, by not only building their Salesforce System but also practically collection donations, making hampers and delivering Christmas parcels. We sponsor local sports teams and dance troupes. We raised money through sponsored activities for local activities – our team get involved through volunteering their time as well as financial support as being part of a community is definitely better than navigating life’s journey solo.
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Empathetic -kind caring and really giving a damn.
Do you have any unique or useful life hacks to help get through your day?
Make a list! Then tick them off – it makes you feel good.
Do you have any go-to apps or tools use love to use?
Too Good To Go – an app to prevent food waste in local area – get some great bargains
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
We are looking forward to do a charity skydive to raise funds for Zarach and then personally I am going to be undertaking the cold water dip every day in March to raise money for cancer research. Goals wise I look forward to seeing my team continue to grow both at their role and as people.

Boston, MA & Paris, France
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
Set the long-term direction of the firm while empowering team to execute the day-to-day. Create and embody our culture and commitment centered in Black Fox Code.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Embrace Equity.” What does this mean to you? How can we build workplaces that are more equitable and inclusive?
Beyond our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we recognize the necessity of doing the internal and external work needed to ensure racism, sexism, and any other -isms are not present in our interactions. This requires deep inquiry and commitment, and a willingness to get your ‘nose bloodied’ yet keep staying in the conversation. I also focus upon changing the face of philanthropy through funding Black Fox Fellows.
Do you have any mentors or role models who have helped you on your personal journey?
I loved the ‘Playing Big’ course by Tara Mohr; I would call her a mentor to many women seeking greater impact and fully expressed lives.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
If you have to ask, you already know the answer (applies to fashion & life i.e. “Does this make me look fat?”)
The past few years have brought many new and unprecedented challenges. What keeps you motivated or inspires you to stay optimistic?
Our team and the NGO leaders we serve and the incredible global missions we help resources through our services.
Pledge 1% helps companies of all sizes and stages leverage their assets for social good. Why do you think it’s important that companies prioritize social impact? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
As a B Corp it is our imperative to contribute to social good, but we elected to become B Corp because it was in our DNA already. So much more found here on my views!
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Resilient. The last 3+ years have been a mental and emotional monkey-knife-fight while company doubled in size while concurrently having a teen daughter navigate covid and life and so much more I cannot disclose here for her privacy’s sake.
Do you have any unique or useful life hacks to help get through your day?

Insight Timer. EVERY. DAY. Also a Gratitude App, and that has been terrific.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?

Jennifer Willey
Founder and CEO, Wet Cement
Matawan, New Jersey USA
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
As the founder and CEO, I wear many hats! Most of my time is focused on building the strategy, content and delivery of our programs. This means I’m consulting with clients to help them drive inclusive cultures of growth, delivering keynotes (especially with International Women’s Day in March) and creating content for our “Fearless in 5” microlearning videos, newsletter and curriculum.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Embrace Equity.” What does this mean to you? How can we build workplaces that are more equitable and inclusive?
This is at the core of everything I do! In fact, I’ll be delivering keynotes and workshops specifically on this topic across the US and global companies and organizations. “Embracing Equity” means cultivating an inclusive culture where everyone feels safe, like they belong, and has equal access to opportunities and achieving their potential. It’s about empowering those who identify as women to understand the external barriers and how to navigate around them, which knowing which internal barriers are more likely to hold us back. It is enlightening leaders with a ‘playbook’ on how they can foster equitable teams and allies with how they can help as upstanders.
Do you have any mentors or role models who have helped you on your personal journey?
There have been so many–of all genders–but the most consistent is Jennifer Shelley Zalis of The Female Quotient, Jennifer DaSilva of Berlin Cameron and Mita Mallick of Carta.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
The most valuable advice I’ve received is to get started before I’m fully ready. Thanks to this I enact (and share) the “80% Rule.” Rather than waiting until something is ‘perfect’ (which is a mirage), I get going when I feel like I’m 80% ready and then iterate along the way.
The past few years have brought many new and unprecedented challenges. What keeps you motivated or inspires you to stay optimistic?
I’m continually motivated by the important work that needs to be done to close the gender equity gap. Far too many people mistakenly believe that “we’ve achieved gender equity” because they have 50/50 gender composition in their company. Meanwhile, women are suffering from burnout and anxiety at levels higher than ever, leaving the workforce and the vast majority of power, influence and equity is still held by men (acc. to latest research shared by UN Women).
Pledge 1% helps companies of all sizes and stages leverage their assets for social good. Why do you think it’s important that companies prioritize social impact? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
We pledge our commitment to the amazing non-profit Working for Women, which helps the socioeconomic advancement of women by building capability for other nonprofits.
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Purpose-Driven
Do you have any unique or useful life hacks to help get through your day?
Multitasking: Laptop while getting my hair colored, using my dog walking time to think creatively about my work.
Do you have any go-to apps or tools use love to use?
Rent the Runway is a lifesaver for professional women!
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
I’m most excited about impacting the lives of thousands of people during March for International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month!

Julie-Anne Mizzi

Sydney, NSW, Australia
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
As the inaugural Managing Partner and CEO of Plenary Funds Management, I am responsible for creating an investment management business that invests in sustainable social infrastructure assets.
What’s the best part of your job? What do you enjoy the most?

We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges, especially during these past two years – what motivates you to keep going?
Creating a business that will permanently change the industry for the better.

We all have to do boring things in our job but we don’t have to do it all the time. So take joy in the things you love doing, but even as a CEO I have to do the boring bits too!
What does generosity mean to you?
Recognising that I have been lucky and helping others who aren’t in the same position.
How do you feel businesses can play a larger role in solving today’s biggest challenges? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
Join Pledge 1%! It’s a great way to leverage your giving as you grow. At Plenary Funds Management we are giving away 1% of our product which means up to 1% of our fund is available for charities to invest fee-free. We don’t want charities’ hard earned dollars in fees, we want to support them in using their funds for good.
We also have strict ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria for every investment with a strong focus on reducing the carbon footprint in all our assets. We believe that we should act with purpose and meaning in everything we do.
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?

We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges, especially during these past two years – what motivates you to keep going?
The first motivation, in this challenging moment, were my family and the people I worked with. From a professional perspective I asked myself “How this situation is impacting me? How I feel and how can I give my support to my team?
Is what I want for me and my needs the same for my team?”
I found a different way of communicating, tried to understand different feelings and a different point of view to support and spend more time with my team.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
During my life I received lots of good advices – but the one that I use in this moment of my life is “You are human too” and it is true – I am human.

In my opinion generosity is any gesture, even the smallest one done for the purpose of making someone else feel good
without having something in return.

Tiff Ng
Founder, The Social Story
Sydney, NSW, Australia
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
I’m the founder and chief storyteller at The Social Story – a social media agency helping purpose-driven brands share their impact. Our mission is to empower people to demystify social media and utilise its power as a force for good.
What’s the best part of your job? What do you enjoy the most?
It is easy to get frustrated with the perils of social media. And yet I remain innately optimistic about its potential to create social change. Being able to combine both my passion and excitement of the dynamic platform while also doing something that leaves a positive impact on the world is truly fulfilling. I feel lucky to be able to use my years of skills and experience in this way and putting my purpose first. And being able to share that beyond and see the impact our clients are able to make is just the cherry on top.
We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges, especially during these past two years – what motivates you to keep going?
It definitely has not been easy to stay afloat as a small business during the pandemic. And with social media, it’s definitely been a rollercoaster! But I’m motivated by my mission and the opportunity to pursue it, however many pivots we need to make. Impact, empathy and communication remain salient and I’m proud to see them take a greater role in the public consciousness as we all move to more sustainable and positive practices.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
Be brave enough to look at the people who say things can’t be done and say ‘watch me’
What does generosity mean to you?
Generosity means giving without expectation of return. That could be giving your time, your expertise, your money or whatever you have to offer. But it is mainly around the intent – to share what you have with the world, help and inspire others and not for something in return.
How do you feel businesses can play a larger role in solving today’s biggest challenges? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
In making moves towards a better world, evert step counts. Not just in the small actions we can make but a conscious mindset to think about how we do things differently to make it better. Whether that’s in our personal habits or how we run a business, we have an opportunity to take steps towards a better world. For us as a business, that was from every decision we made as we were building – from the bank that we chose to the partners we bring on. But also in how we position ourselves and are unwavering in our conviction to do things different for our clients as well. It hasn’t been easy to shift through all the information and, as a small business, go for the more convenient option. But taking on the advise of like-minded advisors, we were able to devise a business plan that made the most sense for where we are as a business but also in our place in the world to be as progressive and sustainable as possible.
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Idealistic – in the best sense of the world. I see what our world could be like, whether it is in how we operate our businesses or how we share on social. And it might overlook some of the crucial flaws in our society to count on the inherent kindness of people, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t constantly be striving towards it.
If you could pick a song to guide you through 2022, which song would it be?
Lights Up by Flight Facilities (ft. Channel Tres). It’s really just the soundtrack of my life. After a crazy couple of years, it’s the exact vibe of groove, excitement and goodness to inspire me to pick ourselves back up, have a little dance and keep going!

Briany Kalms
Chair of the Envato Foundation and Customer Success Director, Envato
Melbourne, Australia
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
Established as Envato’s philanthropic arm, the Envato Foundation is focused on opportunity creation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. As chair, my role is to help drive and shape the direction of the Foundation, along with managing our charity partnerships. I also look after the global support function for Envato managing a team of ~40 people across 7 countries.
What’s the best part of your job? What do you enjoy the most?
I love being able to connect with people from different organisations and locations and learn about their experiences and how they’re making a difference. It helps me to learn and grow.
We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges, especially during these past two years – what motivates you to keep going?
Knowing that every day, even the ones that aren’t great, is an opportunity to reflect and come out stronger and wiser. It’s not always easy but when I get those “aha!” moments of clarity it really does spur me on.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. I’ve certainly learned this the hard way over the years but I’ve also learned to do a much better job of listening to my gut. I still don’t always get it right but it’s a piece of advice that has always stuck with me and I find it a grounding thing to come back to.
What does generosity mean to you?
Generosity to me is about more than just money. It’s also about time and empathy. I think being truly generous means putting in the time to listen and really understand the heart of a problem before you rush in to solve it.
How do you feel businesses can play a larger role in solving today’s biggest challenges? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
Lead by example and be deliberate about it. The more it becomes normal for businesses to have a dedicated philanthropic focus the more that businesses who don’t will start to feel left behind. This helps create a movement and a community towards a greater good.
The establishment of the Envato Foundation is an excellent example of this. We’re a company that’s built on values and we wanted to take a more coordinated approach to how we supported causes we believed in. Opportunity creation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities, especially through the development of children and youth, is a pressing need in Australia. We honed in on this issue because we know completion rates across primary, secondary and tertiary education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth is far below those of non-Aboriginal children. We believe that early intervention is pivotal and that we could play a role in supporting organisations that are doing great things to empower the next generation.
There wasn’t an obvious way to do this through our day-to-day business, so the Envato Foundation was born to facilitate support of this mission.
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Real. What you see is what you get. I don’t try and pretend to be someone I’m not – warts and all.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
I’m really excited about the work for the Envato Foundation this year and continuing to see it grow and evolve. I’m also looking forward to becoming more involved in the Pledge 1% community and how we can come together to really pick up the momentum.

Sabre Leek
CEO, Sleek Consulting LLC
Kingston, NH USA
What is your current role? Briefly describe in 1-2 sentences.
Lead our company with Sales, Marketing and Operations to deliver Salesforce Quick Start Suites for Fundraising and Engagement. My team does most of the work, however, I just provide a bit of leadership here and there.
What’s the best part of your job? What do you enjoy the most?
My favorite part of my job is watching my amazing team grow and change and take on the responsibilities that are critical to deliver a quality implementation. They really are the heart of our organization.
We’ve all faced personal and professional challenges, especially during these past two years – what motivates you to keep going?
We have a great economical solution for getting into Salesforce. We cannot let our customers down. Some days this is the best reason to get up and jump into my day.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
When you are delivering a training and/or consulting session – you don’t need to have all of the answers to the questions that are posed. That is an unreasonable expectation. You just need to be able to find the answers quickly and always follow up.
What does generosity mean to you?
Everyone can contribute to a cause when it motivates them. Generosity is sharing your time, your talent, or your resources to help another person or organization be successful.
How do you feel businesses can play a larger role in solving today’s biggest challenges? Do you have any specific stories or examples from your work or colleagues you can share?
My opinion is that our world is tougher to navigate than ever before. It is changing rapidly and this causes many people anxiety, including employees, employers and customers. Businesses need to recognize that people are being stretched in ways that they have never encountered before. Providing the flexibility and support to customers and employees and your leadership team is critical. I love how Salesforce provides some random Fridays off to their team to let them invest into their personal lives and recharge…
If you could describe yourself in one word what would that be and why?
Metamorphosis. Our butterfly logo is not by chance. Personally and professionally I have changed so much since starting my career. Being able to adapt is critical when you are dealing with technology and personal crisis. I feel that my focus on being agile has been my secret to success. You never know what life will serve up next and you need to be able to take it on.
If you could pick a song to guide you through 2022, which song would it be?
Wow – what a great question! Music is a pivotal part of my life. I have so many songs that guide me in the moment but I think the best one for 2022 is Gene Wilder’s Pure Imagination. I do sincerely believe anything is possible if you want it enough.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
Of course – I am excited to see how customers embrace Salesforce to change 21st Century Fundraising. And I am also excited to get our non-profit off the ground this year – Tame the Beast Foundation. Removing the stigma from mental health is so important in this world.
