  • Close the Gap with Kahilla

    Close the Gap with Kahilla
    May 11 2021
    FOUNDED IN 2019, KAHILLA STRIVES TO CREATE GENDER PARITY ACROSS THE CORPORATE WORLD. This bold vision combines our own desire for a supportive community of ambitious women with empirical evidence documenting a lack of women in top leadership positions and the financial risk facing companies without equal representation. We realize our vision by uniting diverse subject-matter experts with a representative network of like-minded, like-hearted women on a singular digital platform. Through curated content and ongoing engagement, we help women become more confident and informed — and embolden them to own their choices, whatever they may be. This spirit of empowerment, inclusivity, and accountability informs our core values and every aspect of Kahilla, including our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy and charitable commitments. Our Step Up, Reach Down gifting program contributes 10% of all corporate memberships to non-profits helping women rise. We are similarly dedicated to donating 1% of Kahilla’s profits to charities supporting women via the global Pledge 1% community. Our commitment to building a more equitable world is also reflected in our name: Kahilla, which refers to a group of people united by a common goal. Enjoy this interview with co-founders Kim Havens and Noa Ries.
