Here We Go… Writing a Book on Women in Mobility

I basically grew up surrounded by cars. I took that love and followed a career in auto that led me into a much more broader passion for transportation and mobility, an industry that was born out of the union between the automotive and technology sectors, revolutionizing the way the world moves. Both the tech and auto industries are prominent spaces for the legacies of “boys clubs”—something that I know all too well. However despite the patriarchal pedigree, the mobility industry is seeing a growing movement in female leadership that is incredibly inspiring. I’ve had the pleasure of working with and hearing from some of these amazing women over the last few years. They are designing and engineering some of the most innovative technologies and platforms that are driving the future of how goods and people move and the spaces, communities and roads they move along. Seeing and celebrating their successes has been one of the best parts of my journey.

While these women spend their careers doing this work, most of their prodigious stories are still untold. Until now.

I’m so happy to share that over the next five months, I’ll be working with Kristin Shaw to write a book! Our book will share the accomplishments of these highly successful women and understand the motivations and implications of their developments on society. With input from across the country, this book will feature diverse thinking and insight, as well as case studies, meant to inspire others and give a voice to the untold stories and unrecognized innovations that are changing the way we all live. 

We’ll have more information as time goes on but we hope that you’ll join us on this journey! This book isn’t about us, it’s about all the women in the mobility industry. And as large as our networks are, our goal is to reach beyond that and lean on our peers to help us to uncover new stories and elevate more women led initiatives. Stay tuned!
