After the election, I made a vow to continue to promote successful women on the show and today is no different. Cindy Whitehead is a trailblazer for future female business owners. She invented the first ever FDA-approved "female viagra" drug called Addyi. The day after getting FDA approval Cindy sold the company for a whopping $1 billion.

Now she's running The Pink Ceiling, a strategy and investment firm launched in 2016 that's dedicated to finding and funding innovations for women. She's calling 2017 the year of the Pink-cubator and dedicating her all to promoting female start-ups - especially in the male-dominant STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.)
