SheSaaS is a not-for-profit platform for women

SheSaaS is a platform for women in Private Equity Software. Our aim is to welcome and support a community of smart and innovative thinkers in their quest to navigate their career successfully and help members to drive their professional growth in a supportive community. At SheSaaS, we firmly believe in the power of women supporting women, and our platform serves as a catalyst for meaningful connections, knowledge sharing, and professional development.

We collaborate in equal measure with PE sponsors who invest in software, as well as portfolio companies. We connect a high performing and diverse talent pool of female leaders, that not only contribute to increased diversity in the industry, but as data suggests, increased performance of management teams.

We understand that leadership extends beyond the professional realm. That's why we address both professional and personal elements that impact women in our industry. Our network provides a safe and supportive space to discuss a wide range of topics, including expert updates on industry trends, cutting-edge technologies, and emerging practices. Additionally, we recognise the importance of personal well-being and work-life integration. We tackle subjects such as health, including menopause and fertility management, and strategies for effectively balancing family and career responsibilities.

Join us for a series of dynamic in-person networking events, engaging workshops, and webinars designed specifically to foster meaningful connections among women in our industry. These events offer unparalleled opportunities to expand your professional network, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights from trailblazing women who have made a significant impact in our sector.

In our upcoming podcast we share real stories from exceptional women who have overcome challenges, shattered glass ceilings, and achieved remarkable success in their careers. From industry pioneers to rising stars, our podcast showcases the journeys and experiences of these women, providing invaluable lessons and motivation for all aspiring leaders.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we pledge to donate all of our profits to charities focused on supporting, empowering and uplifting girls and women. By joining our network or becoming a sponsor, you not only gain valuable connections and resources, but also contribute to meaningful social impact. "Together, we can create a brighter future for all women, one step at a time."

Christine Maslin

Founding Member - SheSaaS

I have been inspired over the years by some incredible women in our sector. In March 2023 I brought together a small group of these women for a female leadership dinner, the power, talent and camaraderie in the room was euphoric and yet the humility was truly remarkable. It became clear for me and for many of us that evening that we could do more to support and empower women in the sector. A few of us got together and SheSaaS was born

March 2023 Christine’s organised event for women in Private Equity Software and invited me to be a panellist with Charlotte and Joan. It was easily most memorable event I have ever attended. 25 women in our sector, sharing experiences, laughs, being vulnerable, being bold, authentic, and willing to support. It was so humbling and exhilarating, but also clear we all at points in our career need support and I knew then we must do something. We were soon remined by Joan of famous Madeleine Albright quote: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!” At SheSaaS will work hard to ensure, that place in hell will not be occupied by any women in our sector.

Founding Member - SheSaaS

Having spent my career in Private Equity Software, i felt there was a much needed network to bring us all together, to share, support, guide and learn from one and other. I recognised that Private Equity firms are keen to work with exceptional women, and exceptional women just need the opportunity for an introduction to this sector so that they can share their wealth of knowledge, experiences and viewpoints. I was asked to sit on a panel with some truly amazing women in March 2023 and following on from that SheSaaS was born. I am truly excited about our journey and supporting making a difference for women in Private Equity Software.

Empowered women, Empower women. As such, I strongly believe that where there is an opportunity to pay it forward and help others, there should be no hesitation. Luckily, this thought was shared by Christine who brought a few executives together to be panelists at an event focused on helping women navigate the Private Equity industry. As a Panelist, I had the pleasure of working alongside Charlotte and Iveta who as seasoned executives, share the same vision around supporting, guiding and motivating women in the industry. Having worked with Private Equity firms throughout my career, I am aware of the want to address the lack of gender diversity which not only hinders opportunities for capable women but also limits potential growth and innovation. Therefore , I am thrilled that SheSaaS was born and feel incredibly privileged to be a Founding Member.
