I was recently asked: “As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do?” I knew the answer immediately: hire competent people—and then let them do their work! Today, I would like to pay tribute to HomeoLux’s all-women leadership team, who have taught me the wisdom of that piece of advice.

First is our fearless leader, Irina Tanenbaum, who has brought her powerful background in investment research and due diligence to our company. She has advised numerous startups, cultivating growth for seed-stage fundraising. Irina leads the way for the fast pace and rapid growth of HomeoLux. These days, Irina’s investment guidelines are based on principles of diversification: she doesn’t pick stocks; she picks sectors. Her favorite sector right now is, of course, SilverTech. Balancing IQ with EQ, Irina loves to immerse herself in sculpture, art, and piano music.

She says that while there may be a 65-year age difference between those two target audiences, her process of user-centric design remains the same.

According to CNBC, a record number of women now hold top positions at Fortune 500 companies, but women still only make up about 6% of CEO spots at companies on Fortune’s list. It should be clear to everyone that diversity and inclusion across leadership teams and throughout business tiers benefit everyone—employees, businesses, and economies.
