MOVE THE NEEDLE
August 24, 2026
WIE Suite members who are making an impact across industries.

The women in our community aren't simply leading companies. They're helping define where industries are headed next. From AI and healthcare to investing, climate and culture, these members are building the businesses, movements and ideas shaping the next decade.

Building What's Next: Commerce

Kruti Patel Goyal

CEO, Etsy

The future of commerce is becoming more intelligent, more personalized and more creator-driven. As CEO of Etsy, Kruti is leading one of the world's largest marketplaces through its next chapter, embracing AI while preserving the creativity and human connection that distinguish independent businesses. Her work reflects one of retail's biggest shifts: technology that amplifies creators rather than replaces them.

Building What's Next: Health

Anne Fulenwider

Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Alloy Health

Women's health has moved from an overlooked category to one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare. Through Alloy, Anne has helped redefine how women access menopause care, making evidence-based treatment more accessible while elevating the national conversation around midlife health. The company's rapid growth reflects a broader shift: women's health is increasingly being recognized as both a healthcare priority and a significant business opportunity.

Building What's Next: AI

Jean Lee

Lead Product Manager, Wearables AI, Google DeepMind

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots into the products millions of people use every day. Jean sits at the forefront of that transformation, leading AI experiences for Google's wearable technologies. As AI becomes more ambient, personalized and integrated into daily life, leaders like Jean are defining what the next generation of consumer technology looks like.

Building What's Next: Capital

Melanie Strong

Founding Partner, Next Ventures

Capital increasingly flows toward the future before the market catches up. As Founding Partner of Next Ventures and a longtime Nike executive, Melanie invests in founders building the next generation of health, wellness, longevity and performance companies. Her work reflects a broader investment trend: backing businesses that improve how people live, not simply what they consume.

Building What's Next: Culture

Reshma Saujani

Founder, Moms First & Girls Who Code

Culture changes when ideas become movements. For more than a decade, Reshma has challenged long-held assumptions about work, caregiving, and opportunity, first through Girls Who Code and now through Moms First. This year, she expanded that conversation with her documentary, No Country for Mothers, bringing national attention to the structural challenges facing working mothers and making the case that childcare and paid leave are not personal issues, but economic ones. Her work demonstrates that lasting influence isn't simply about visibility. It's about changing what society values.

Building What's Next: Climate

Julia Collins

Founder & CEO, Planet FWD

Climate commitments increasingly require measurement, not marketing. Julia is building the infrastructure that helps food companies understand and reduce their environmental footprint, bringing data and accountability to one of the world's largest industries. As sustainability becomes core business strategy rather than corporate responsibility, her work sits at the center of that transition.
