Suneera Madhani
Less than 2% of female founders ever break 1M in revenue. We’re on a mission to change that. Welcome to CEO School. I'm your host, Suneera Madhani, and each week, you’ll learn from incredible mentors who’ve made it to the 2% club and women well on their way. But first, a few class rules. Grab your seat because we’re here to get sh*t done. We’re one team, one dream. And we believe that we deserve to have it all because nothing bad happens when women make more money. You’re a real business now. Class is officially in session.

Erin is on a mission to change that by using a game dominated by men (and often stigmatized), to help women build skills and learn behaviors that allow them to find equal opportunity and success in their careers. Having experienced Wall Street as a pregnant woman and mother, Erin is all too familiar with the unreasonable and rocky landscape women navigate in the business world. Through Poker Power, Erin takes the hard lessons she learned and mentors other women to not only find their seat at their table but claim it confidently and unapologetically.
