About Close the Gap
Make Space. Create Spaces. Close the Gap.
Close the Gap exists to address the most persistent and consequential gender gaps of our time: visibility, leadership, networking, representation, and power. But our work does not stop at identifying what is missing. We focus on how change actually happens.
Our approach is simple and deliberate: We close gaps by making space and creating spaces for women.
When there is a gap, there is also an opportunity for something new to emerge; new voices, new models, and new ways of leading and working that have not yet been fully seen or valued.
Close the Gap works at the intersection of strategy, culture, and experience. Whether through stages that elevate women’s voices, platforms that increase visibility, or environments that foster genuine belonging, our mission is to create the conditions in which women can exist fully, lead confidently, and shape the future.
Closing gaps is about recognizing the opportunity within the gap and making space for what has been missing.

Making space means ensuring women have visibility, legitimacy, and the room to be fully recognized as they are. It is about presence on stages, recognition in leadership, confidence in personal branding, and the freedom to express personality, emotion, and ambition without compromise. Too often, women are present but invisible, qualified but overlooked, capable but constrained. Making space is about changing that reality.

Creating spaces means building environments designed with women in mind, workplaces, platforms, events, memberships, and ecosystems where women feel safe, respected, and represented. These are spaces where women do not have to adapt to systems that were never built for them, but instead can thrive within structures that acknowledge their needs, experiences, and potential.
