Women in Revenue will benefit from the expertise of its Advisory Council members to advance the overall mission of supporting and advancing women working in marketing, sales, RevOps, and customer success. Women face a number of challenges when working toward leadership in revenue-generating roles. The WIR 2023 annual report found that one in four women know they are not paid equally to their male counterparts. In addition, 30 percent of women reported lack of training/coaching, lack of mentorship, and equal seat at the table as challenges in their organizations. Council members will advise the organization on initiatives and programs that build toward a world where women in revenue roles are equally represented and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Jen Dimas, Women in Revenue Board Member and Advisory Council Co-Chair said, “Thank you to all our council members for committing to support, elevate, and inspire more women in revenue roles. Amazing things happen when driven, talented, bottom-line oriented women are fired up about growing their careers and organizations.”
