#Introduction: I'm the editorial director of #TEDWomen and the co-founder of #CWL (Connected Women Leaders). Throughout my career as a journalist, producer and media executive (PBS + CNN), I have focused on sharing women’s stories. I'm the author of "Becoming a Dangerous Woman: Embracing Risk to Change the World" and the host of "Dangerous Women: Leading Onward" on #FintechTV.

I'm mainly interested in #womenequality, #genderequality, #climatechangesolutions and representation in media.
