Love how she is so intelligent and yet has a simple way of communicating. Live her life story. Education, hard work and finding one’s passion ❤️
yup she is - she was my boss awhile ago
A brilliant mind and a driven force, inspiring not only for women, girls but also for men and boys. Find one’s own passion and follow through ❤
So inspiring to hear about personal stories from women leader role model like Theresia, what a nicely conducted interview!
You'll never do anything similar now go make me a sandwich
Inspiring? She dont even want to work more , while men will continue to work 70-80hr week
@@TMM-N stop commenting from your mom's basement
@@TMM-N having to work 70-80hrs a week isn't inspiring lmao it's poverty
Agree! We need more people like her in upper management - companies should be looking out for their employees and allowing a better work-life balance.
Thank you for sharing your story. I commend your strength and also a source of inspiration as I am a start-up founder.
outstanding questions ! The VC really opened up. Congrats
Great interview! Gouw is very well-spoken and had some very insightful comments. I hope more executives and managers will watch this and take to heart what she said about allowing employees to have a better work-life balance. Looking out for the well-being of your employees can lead to better productivity and a happier workplace.
This was great but it doesn’t really correlate to the title
Thank you for sharing..
amazing interview. well done ladies!
was valuable to listen to someone who has traveled the road before us
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing
Great interview!
Nobody knows what is going to happen. Just specualtion. 1 year ago these people were screaming olds models were invalid.
True, it is so exagerrating. She is not powerful at all, is not her money. She is just betting, make mistake and hope one or 2 of her betting make big money. That's all.
The only certainty is uncertainty.
If you had bought any houses right after the pandemic started, when everyone was as scared as a rabbit in a wolf’s den, you would have gained more than 50%. Tell me what the experts said back then.
Would agree the recession will be more like the tech crash of 2000. The high tech companies' high valuations will be coming down to more fair value.
Tks! See you!
There is no such thing as most powerful, VC represent someone else money, is not their money. VC makes mistakes, lots of them, even silly mistakes in WeWork, FTX. Most VC do not have real experience, just betting on something they think will be big. They act like God because they can make big money decision.
On the flip side VCs have ability to change the world!
They’re just gamblers like anyone else.
@@teenytinytoons Every product you use in your daily life was at one point a gamble that someone took a chance on. Ponder that my friend!
Good morning Forbes! ♥️☕
she seems sane
Loved it, but at the end she advises older women to dye their grey hair more often...that was the only thing I don't align with. Be yourself and if you'd like to go natural, this is okay. As a young person, I don't judge older people who have silver or white hair. It's quite beautiful. Men and women should feel okay w/being natural
Great story. 👍
Great interview. She’s inspiring. Good questions by interviewer.
Shout out to ncsa mosaic, that set the course of my degree and profession as well.
THERESIA LOTS OF LOVE AND REGARDS
THE RECESSION IS DUE TO LACK OF LEADERSHIP IN THE WEST , STARTING FROM USA TO EUROPE
HOPEFULLY THE RECESSION WILL END SOON

Of course Indonesia!
I’m from Indonesia 🇮🇩 proud of this woman
But you guys have killed so many Chinese descendants in Indonesia, in the most gruesome ways 🙄 I bet her family escaped the country for the reason.
"those things in place" = the american dream. Having everything in place where you can achieve. If you don't have that option available to you, there is a problem.

Many people lost their jobs the past few months
Super snooze fest! 😴😴 Title and content do NOT align. This was a pep talk 👎👍
Yay indo
She is gorgeous
Is that a real forbes interview? So unprofessional. A home grown girl asks innocent questions... Why she?
I was expected to watch to get some economy view from the title of the video. But it was a lengthy interview of this VC lady's personal story. Not impressed.

Illlll
Never Herd of her
Because you're in the "herd" and not in the their club. LOL
@@mozartdeux1440 sorry Mr. Mozart!
😂❤
Me too... I don't know who are U... Sorry
Puke. Did she pay for this advertising? Most powerful? Lol
Difference between women and men, is that women talk more about balance life and work
While men they rarely complaining about work life balance
Men willing to work 60-70 hr work week even through their 50s-60s
While women when they 40s 50s, they started to work less and prefer work life balance over the age of 50s.
Hence this explains the pay gap.
If u look at top 100 richest people, majorityof them are men
Because they work hard throughout their 50s-60s.
Thats why companies led by women over 50s, will not be as big as those led by men over 50s and 60s as men are crazy enough to work without life balance
You are absolutely right!
Men rarely complaining about work life balance because they don't even think about it as they automatically assume housework responsibilities and raising kids are women's responsibilities. So many women give up their careers to support their families and significant others, and look at what you ungrateful brats think about them. I bet your mom regrets giving birth to you and sacrifice her career for you. Please don't ever get married or have kids
