Amy Cross, Founder, Gender Fair

“Businesses are on the front lines of making decisions every day that impact women’s lives. I joined OPEN Imperative because I believe that empowering founders and CEOs will overcome existing roadblocks to gender pay equity. Together, we will accelerate progress to close the gender pay gap."

“We believe in outcomes over intentions, so we are laser focused on driving measurable impact."
