Becoming a successful entrepreneur is a unique journey for women as the statistics show that there are STILL significant, systemic challenges for females looking to run their own business. Since the pandemic began there's been a “boom” in female self-starters looking for work-life balance and a career that fulfills them. So why are there still so many barriers to entry for these emerging business leaders?
Kenrick is joined by Robin Kovitz the CEO of Baskits, a specialty retailer that designs, manufacturers, and delivers unique and luxurious gifts to over 40,000 customers across Canada and the United States. After years in investment banking, consulting, and private equity, Robin overcame several obstacles to become the CEO of this rapidly growing enterprise.
They discuss the “intangible” qualities that make for a successful entrepreneur, why there is lower representation of female entrepreneurs across the Canadian business landscape, what it really means to support women-led enterprises and so much more. They also discuss the rapid growth at Baskits, why there's been a gift basket revival, and why, according to the numbers, women-led enterprises actually perform better over time.
