Sophie McCarthy on financial independence and confidence through action

Sophie McCarthy had some big shoes to fill. Her mother Wendy has been at the forefront of feminist activism for decades, and Sophie picked up the mantle and is making her own huge impact on gender equality.

As CEO of McCarthy mentoring, Sophie partners with leading companies to design programs that drive change, engage people and develop leaders.

With her upbringing, it's no surprise that Sophie participates in her own advocacy work, As Chair of Sydney Community Foundation, she helps support the most vulnerable women in Sydney, giving a voice to women who don't get heard.

Sophie's passionate about doing work that actually makes a difference, and breaking down barriers that prevent equality.
