In this episode, Madeline talks to us about her community and impact driven initiatives at HBS and in Boston in the investing space. She speaks about the need for diversity to be at top of mind rather than an afterthought given its positive impact on business instead of / in addition to a moral imperative and the disproportionate impact of COVID on women.
