Modern Minorities

ASHLYN GENTRY believes in (re)redefining labels


Listen Later

Ashlyn Gentry is a renegade academic / political wonk turned business strategist...who has a PhD. As the Co-Founder / Managing Partner of Attention Capital, she’s cultivated a reputation for moving fast and getting results. Ashlyn’s held senior roles @ Palantir’s, Hill+Knowlton Strategies (WPP), AND is a mentor to rising female and minority entrepreneurs. Basically, Ashlyn’s a BOSS. Constantly navigating the still-not-nonexistent “boys club” of business - a feat made trickier as a queer woman - Ashlyn candidly shares how the over-sexualization that sometimes comes with how you look (and what people learn about you) is anything but cool. We also talk about the expectations on women that men simply don’t have - and how these small things add up...every day
