Sally and Ashlee combined have over 25+ years of working in entrepreneurship, technology and the corporate world. They both have worked in male dominated industries and environments such as military, engineering, aviation, tech startups, energy sector and more. They’ve experienced first hand many of the struggles that other women are facing having worked for small scaling startups to Fortune 1000 corporations.
