I am aware of the many challenges – including deep-rooted stigmas and outdated stereotypes of the roles of men and women – that persist both at home and in the workforce. As an employer, I feel a strong personal responsibility to break down gender barriers and deliver gender equity in our organization and our work. My connection with the issue also extends into my personal life, through my work as the founder of TakeTheTime, a social movement focused on advancing gender equality via improved uptake of parental leave by fathers.
