Maureen Wiley Clough
Founder
Just like many of us, Maureen built herself a career and climbed the corporate ladder. At her last role in an early-stage tech startup, her younger colleague called her a "dinosaur" - when she was 37 (!!).
This comment led to an epiphany: she realized very few people at the companies where she had worked were over 40 years old. Huh?
She began to wonder if she could stay employed as long as she wanted - or needed - to have a job. So, she set out to start conversations to understand what was really going on with ageism at work, why it was happening, and what could be done about it.
Now, she's determined to help make the future better for all of us - no matter what our age.
