Twenty years in aviation will teach you a lot.I moved through engineering, strategy, and business development — roles that took me across continents and into rooms full of remarkable people.But what stayed with me most wasn't the projects or the deals. It was the women.Leading in a demanding industry, I kept noticing the same thing: the most brilliant, driven women around me rarely had space to connect with each other — let alone with equally formidable women building things in completely different worlds.Every time I helped bridge that gap, something shifted.Ideas sparked. Shoulders dropped. Someone remembered, often out loud, that they weren't the only ones navigating all of it.
