Girls Can do Anything Boys Can Do, with Sue Bevan Baggott

This Money Tales episode is all about how the messages we learn in our youth and the experiences we have with money as we’re growing up shape and orient our relationship to money. Our guest this week is Sue Bevan Baggott. Growing up with home haircuts and hand-sewn clothes, Sue learned early the value of frugality. But it was her and her husband’s decision to live on one salary while investing the other that laid the groundwork for Sue to transition from corporate executive to purpose-driven angel investor working to close the gender gap in startup funding.

As a human-centered Executive Advisor and Innovation Catalyst, Sue is passionate about empowering leaders to create positive impact, accelerate life-improving innovation and invest for impactful changes in our world.

In her career journey from global innovation leader at Procter & Gamble (growing mega-brands from Pantene to Pampers), to Founder of Power Within Consulting, to “Accidental” Angel Investor and Startup Advisor, Sue learned to leverage the power of human-first strategies to accelerate leadership, innovation, business, and entrepreneurial success.

Sue strives to unleash people’s purpose-driven power as leaders, innovators, and investors to drive positive change – through her speaking, writing, consulting, and advisory/board roles.

Through multiple early-stage funds, Sue invests in the change she wants to see in the world with a diverse portfolio of innovative startups solving significant world problems at scale.

As an Associate Producer for the award-winning documentary, Show Her the Money, Sue advocates for greater inclusion in the startup world, aiming to encourage more people to invest for change and elevate entrepreneurial success for under-represented founders.
