Listen "Susan Poser & Jaye Connolly | Athena Chairs | June 2025"
Episode Synopsis
As political pressure mounts and corporate DEI efforts are being quietly rebranded or rolled back, Athena’s leadership is standing firm. In this powerful episode, Athena CEO Holly Smithson is joined by Board Chair Susan Poser (Oracle) and Vice Chair Jaye Connolly (RippleNami) for a candid conversation about resilience, global perspectives, and why Athena remains unapologetically committed to advancing 1 million women in STEM by 2030. From boardroom votes to tribal conversations in Africa, this episode is a call to lead with clarity, courage, and community.
