Times are changing in 2019 and we are here for it! Audrey Gelman, the CEO and co-founder of The Wing, a women-focused coworking space, has just become the first visibly pregnant CEO to grace the cover of a business magazine.
Audrey is shown on the cover of Inc Magazine’s Female Founders issue cradling her baby bump. It’s a powerful image that speaks volumes about the climate of business for women, especially working mothers. It’s a strong message that says women do not have to sacrifice their careers for motherhood. Gelman wanted to show other mothers that it is possible to simultaneously run a business and start a family.
Audrey co-founded The Wing in October of 2016. At the time, co-working spaces were booming and the trend has only continued to grow over the years. Since its inception, the company has since grown to 10,000 members and raised $117.5 million in venture-capital funding. The co-working space has everything a working mother needs including pump rooms, beauty products, and a women-focused lending library.
It’s incredible to see this milestone broken and is a huge step for working mothers. Thank you for Audrey for being an inspiration!
