This year marks an exciting milestone for Key4Women® – our 15th anniversary. Since 2005, we have helped business women reach their financial goals with access to capital, advocacy, connections, and empowerment. We’ve supported women in their efforts to bridge both the gender and economic gaps they face. And we couldn’t be prouder of the success stories of the amazing women in our network.
Through these years, we’ve also been fortunate firsthand witnesses to the progress made by many of our female colleagues in leadership positions, including Beth Mooney’s rise to KeyCorp chairwoman and CEO.

While progress has been made, the gender wage gap isn’t going away any time soon. According to The World Economic Forum,* gender parity will take more than 200 years from now to achieve. That’s why it’s more important than ever for women to master their finances now.
Research and education can help you take steps to bridge the gap. From knowing your worth and how to negotiate it to working with a financial advisor, knowledge is power.

Companies that solicit feedback and advice from their customers – and apply it to their business – are more successful. According to research by Deloitte*, client-centric companies are 60% more profitable than companies not focused on the customer.
At the heart of this customer focus is human-centered design (HCD). HCD is a process that starts with the customers you serve and ends with new solutions that are focused on their needs.
In this episode of our Women-Owned Wednesday podcast, Key4Women® Director Barb Smith talks with Justin Hunsaker, senior vice president of KeyBank’s omnichannel originations, about how to make your customer the focal point of your business. They also share resources you can easily access to help get your business started.

Whether it’s for the start-up or growth phase, most businesses need to borrow money. For women trying to launch, scale, or grow their business, access to capital continues to be a hurdle. In fact, only 31% of women who sought funding for their business were successful, according to a recent survey by SCORE.
But don’t let that stark statistic deter you from actively seeking capital.
In this episode of our Women-Owned Wednesday podcast, Key4Women Director Barb Smith talks with KeyBank experts Mike Van Vierzen, senior SBA sales representative; Nicole M Vogt, vice president, business banking relationship manager; and Lorie Spinks, branch manager, about the tools and resources available to you. And the steps you can take to better position yourself to receive funding.
