Ep.55-Rocio Cavazos: Engineer Turned Successful Investor.

Growing up in a society where gender bias was prevalent, Rocio Cavazos always found that she was attracted to professional industries where women were few and far between. She started out as an engineer then later transitioned into finance where she worked on Wall Street for 12 years in another male dominated industry.

Being passionate about empowering women and wanting to create an impact through social purpose led her to focus on micro-finance where she could empower low income women in the developing world.

As an investor, she decided to focus on the plant-based sector which is primarily run by women.

Cavazos finds working with entrepreneurs very energizing, invigorating and inspiring. She admires how passionate they are about what they do and their devotion and dedication to solving some of the world’s major problems.

In this episode, she reflects on her passion for empowering women and the focus it gave her. One piece of advice she wants to pass on to young people is to “live their life being pulled by their vision for the future instead of pushing by their past”.
