Our Mission

 

At Mine The Gap, we equip leaders, industries, and organizations with the strategy and tools to create and sustain gender-inclusive environments by activating the whole potential of a team, department, division, corporation, or organization.

 

 
 

For founders Jessica N. Grounds and Kristin Haffert, advancing women leaders across the globe has been a lifelong mission. Their combined 35 years of experience in gender inclusivity has influenced national and international policies, municipalities, businesses, NGOs, and non-profits.
