Welcome to the Intergenerational Dialogues Podcast! 

Hosted by photographer  Captain Maggie Hallahan, this podcast is an open conversation with a wide variety of Co-Hosts and guests, candidly talking about gender equality and other important issues in the world.

The podcast will officially launch on March 23, 2020, but before we drop the First Episode, we are sharing some bonus content that was produced last year, during Women's History Month 2019.

In this Throwback Episode, Captain Maggie moderates a conversation between Fedtech's Sarah Chen and FreshGlow's Kavita Shukla. 

More about Sarah Chen: Sarah’s leadership career spans across venture capital and innovation, in both emerging markets in Asia and the United States.

Prior to Fedtech, she pioneered a corporate venture capital unit within $13Bn publicly traded Asian conglomerate, Sime Darby, investing in later-stage biotechnology companies. Since then, she has been at the forefront of multi-million cross border investments, including a $30Mn deal signing witnessed by former President Obama. She was integral in structuring and executing commercialization plans for her portfolio companies, from project financing to market opportunities across Southeast Asia.
