A CWEL SUCCESS STORY: EMILY LEVY ’16 Emily Levy entered Babson College as a CWEL Scholar and was an active and involved member of her cohort of Scholars throughout her college career.

In her senior year, Emily was accepted to CWEL’s WIN Lab to accelerate a business she founded named PICCPerfect—a socially innovative company which creates functional and fashionable medical dressings.

While part of WIN, Emily took top honors in the third annual Beantown Throwdown competition.

Also in her senior year, Emily applied to become a finalist in CWEL’s Babson Breakaway Challenge competition.

She competed against 400 other exceptional women entrepreneurs, from all industries, and from all over the country. Emily made it to the final round of judging and ultimately took home the $250,000 prize.

As a result of her Babson Breakaway Challenge win, Emily is now working full time on the business she first imagined while a sophomore at Babson, now named Mighty Well™.

The team at CWEL was proud to be with Emily every step of the way!

RESEARCH We support groundbreaking research that focuses on the economic value women entrepreneurial leaders bring to the world. Projects from this past year include academic publications, gender research symposia, and applied research reports.

Findings inform our larger CWEL mission of demystifying the complexities of gender and driving gender acumen and thought leadership among today’s business leaders. Research increasingly highlights the innate skills that women bring to business leadership and the important impact that women’s entrepreneurship has on communities and markets around the world.

– AMANDA ELAM, CWEL RESEARCH DIRECTOR 13 l

RESEARCH

CWEL launched a study in 2016 with Oxfam America to examine the role of unconscious bias in the debt-financing process for small business owners in Guatemala, paying particular attention to potential barriers encountered by women and indigenous entrepreneurs. The study tested a forward-thinking methodology that could serve as a useful self-assessment tool for financial-lending organizations.

Findings from the report completed in 2017 indicated that the participants perceived very little status discrimination in the lending process based on gender or indigenous status.

Instead, these small business owners reported discrimination based on business size, barriers to the collateral, and other loan eligibility requirements, as well as unfavorable interest rates that provided little incentive to seek out debt capital.

Building on a 2016 focus group study of women-owned Walmart supplier firms, CWEL launched a comparative study of U.S.-based Walmart supplier firms this year.

This follow-on study investigates the extent to which the benefits of the Walmart supplier experience vary across gender, with particular attention to personal leadership, community investment, and business growth. A final report is expected before the end of 2017.

documentary about body image, “Embrace: One Woman’s Journey to Inspire EverBODY,” followed by a discussion with Dr. Lindsay Segar, Assistant Director of Counseling Services at Babson College and Dr. Monica O’Neal, Clinical Psychologist and Lecturer in Harvard Medical School.

CREATING A GENDER-ENLIGHTENED BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM A SIGNATURE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR MBA STUDENTS Gender diversity in organizations has been shown to lead to better decision making, higher innovation levels, greater levels of corporate social responsibility, and increased profit margins. For the second year in a row, in partnership with Babson’s F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business, CWEL led a daylong program for the Two-Year MBA students to explore their roles as future entrepreneurs and leaders in creating a Gender Enlightened Business Ecosystem.

During the program, students learned the language and terminology used to discuss issues related to gender diversity, and discussed key statistics highlighting important gender equity gaps.

Speakers included Andrew Davis, the Chief Diversity Officer for Coca Cola and James Lopata, Executive Coach with innerOvation. At the end of the day, the students engaged in a Design Challenge to imagine and prototype strategies for creating the Gender-Inclusive organizations of the future.

MICHAEL KIMMEL CWEL was proud to sponsor “Sex, Power & Privilege: A Conversation about Leadership with Michael Kimmel.” Michael Kimmel is one of the world’s leading experts on men and masculinities, and a tireless advocate of engaging men to support gender equality.
