from She's Interesting with Rashel Hariri · host Rashel Hariri

Welcome to a special live episode of She’s Interesting, recorded at Startup Summit's Women In Tech Breakfast powered by Conexus! Join host Rashel Hariri as she sits down with Monique Simair, Founder and CEO of Maven Water & Environment, for an eye-opening discussion on resilience, overcoming setbacks, and sustainable growth.
