Entrepreneur and successful CEO Sepi Saidi shares her wisdom and insights into why we must all re-think feminism. Through the sharing of her personal journey we are encouraged to re-examine our mindset, our vocabulary and our actions to ultimately break down the societal barriers limiting women’s success in the workplace. Sepi embraces feminism, promotes female equality and supports a gender- neutral workplace for everyone.
Born in Iran and raised in the United States, Sepi was surrounded by women who all obtained advanced degrees and had full time careers, but she found this was not representative of society at large.

Sepi is passionate about eliminating bias and generating a healthier society that supports everyone, regardless of gender, to reach their highest potential.
