Margaret Gabriel is Head of People & Talent at CoinFund and a leader on the CoinFund Executive Team. She joined CoinFund from cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, where she most recently held the position of Head of Learning & Development. Prior to that, she was part of the recruiting team at Google based out of their New York City offices.
The crypto community is an incredible one – composed of some of the most genius, disruptive, category-creating technologists, innovators, and evangelists in the world. I feel honored to work alongside some of these gifted founders and investors as they work to build the new internet. But despite how promising our industry has become, I’m worried., roughly one in seven investment professionals working on active U.S. equity funds from 2008 to 2021 were women.
These types of blanket mandates and centralized approaches are as outdated as money orders and writing a check. It's imperative that companies recognize and address thethese rules create for working mothers specifically. I’d like to understand how a mother who has to walk away from her screaming toddler at 7 a.m. to get to the office and hit her three days-a-week-in-the-office quota, only to have a full day of Zoom calls , is a more “productive” employee.
Part of my responsibility at CoinFund is to help our firm and our portfolio companies hire amazing, talented people. In the past year, I’ve noticed a trend that candidates “must know and be obsessed with crypto,” and if they haven’t “fallen down the crypto rabbit hole” , they’re just “not a fit.” We must be careful here, as this type of quick sorting will mean many high-potential female candidates, who are not yet in the industry, will continue to be kept out of it..
