The World Needs Women in Business - Ivy Zelman - #womenwhobuild

"When I started out at Solomon, I was one of three women out of seventy in a training program. There were times that it was tough, but you power through it. If you rise above then you have this massive advantage, because the world needs women in business."  - Ivy Zelman
