I had the pleasure of attending the American Business Council’s International Women’s Day 2026, joining a group of women leaders and industry practitioners to reflect on the role of mentorship, competence, and leadership in driving inclusive economic growth. The discussions highlighted the importance of strengthening leadership pipelines and fostering collaboration to support more sustainable and equitable outcomes. At Aruwa Capital Management, we continue to see these elements as critical to building resilient businesses and expanding opportunities across the ecosystem.
